Your ongoing commitment is Empowering HOPE through:
Pastoral Support
Strengthened by the addition of new staff members, expanding care and connection. With the addition of a new Parish Administrator & a new Director of Communications and Events, we are freeing the Co-Rectors from administrative and program coordinating duties so that they can be more available for pastoral care, teaching, and community outreach.
Laundry Love
Expansion to a second day-time shift. On the 3rd Wednesday evening of every month, we are currently serving over 90 people with about 300 loads of laundry. In 2026, we are hoping to offer a second shift during the day so that more folks in need can benefit and more St. Paul’s parishioners can volunteer. We have received a grant from the City of Palm Springs to get this work going and are in talks with Martha’s Village on busing people in from the Homeless Navigation Center for this second time during the month.
Parish Hall
Reopening opens the door to expanded ministry and renewed community engagement. This coming year, with a new hall and new kitchen, we look forward to being a hub of spiritual formation classes, workshops, and retreats, as well as community group activities. We also want to be a resource for mental health & wellness services for folks who need it. In addition to our 12-Step groups, bereavement groups, and other support groups that are in the planning phase, we are hoping to provide office space for other non-profits in the valley, as well as for a licensed professional counselor.
