The Church was completed in 1851 and the Parish Hall was built in 1859.  The Rectory was constructed in 1886 and the rest of the Parish House in 1896.  We need to continually maintain the buildings and refocusing them to meet the needs of today.  The last couple of years have seen many improvements.

• The masonry repair to restore the outside of the Church and Parish House to their original condition was completed in the last half of 2008.
• We renovated our Parish House in 2009 to be more functional so that we better can serve all our ministries more effectively.
• Also in 2009, our historic Rectory was renovated and brought up to code.

This past work and future building work is overseen by the Buildings and Grounds Committee that is responsible for the up-keep and general maintenance of all church buildings and grounds. Roles for committee volunteers range from space planning to architectural and construction advice to construction oversight to landscape planning, planting and weeding in the garden.

St. Paul's Church School Curriculum is designed for children of pre-school age through senior high. The curriculum is written and developed by our teachers and clergy in an effort to share an understanding and experience of Christian faith and tradition that connects with the life we live.

We warmly invite children to join our Church School at any point during the year. Classes begin at 9:00 am.  Classes will end in time for the 10 am Sunday service.

St. Paul's hosts the Brookline Emergency Food Pantry, which makes food available when needed to Brookline residents who have been referred to the Brookline Food Pantry.  Food and money are donated by Brookline communities of faith and organizations such as the Rotary Club, the Coolidge Corner Merchants Association, and the letter carriers.  The most needed items are: cereal, pasta sauce, soups, canned meats, tuna fish, canned vegetables and fruit, peanut butter, jams and jelly, powdered milk (boxes of individual packages), and toiletries (soap, shampoo and toothpaste). Funds to purchase these items are always welcome.

We also need volunteers for several jobs: to be on hand during open hours to help service clients; do occasional shopping when purchases are necessary; sort food after large food drives and putting on shelves.

Open 10:00 a.m. to 2:00 p.m. on Tuesday and Thursday and Saturday from 2:00 p.m. to 4:00 p.m. every week.

Every year during Lent, spare change is placed in the "Goat Basket" to purchase goats for widows a needy country.

For the past five years, St. Paul's, in cooperation with the Episcopal Diocese of Honduras, has worked with the people of Chaguite Oriente and surrounding communities.  We have initiated a public health program that includes a water delivery system and a water tower with chlorinated water and constructed a school and a church building to be home for human development initiatives.

A full update on this year's trip will be coming soon!

St. Paul's Lay Preachers group prepares and deliverers sermons, generally on the first Sunday of the month.  Please read some of the moving sermons that have been given.

The M.O.P Committee has the responsibility of involving St. Paul's in the community beyond our church. M.O.P. seeks and evaluates proposals from religious, educational, health care, and other organizations and makes grants distributed the 10% above the diocesan assessment.  Recently MOP has organized a series of speakers, representing recipient organizations, on Sunday mornings at church.
