Since 2005, St. Paul's has been actively engaged in advancing the Millennium Development Goals (MDGs). The MDGs are eight time-bound goals to end extreme poverty and disease in our world.

Even though we are a small parish, we are doing big things to help achieve the MDGs through our support of The Millennium Villages™ Project.

In 2005 St. Paul's raised $5,000 to purchase mosquito nets for the Millennium Village of Koraro, Ethiopia. St. Paul's is now committed to raise at least $4,000 per year -- for the next five years -- in support of the Millennium Village™ of Mbola, Tanzania.
