The Father Saunders Trophy returns to St. Paul after a 28-8 win over East Catholic!  Each year, the St. Paul Falcons and the East Catholic Eagles go head to head to determine the winner of the coveted Father Saunders trophy.  This past Saturday brought the Falcon Football Team to 3-0, and the winner of the trophy! Plan to join us this coming Saturday for the Falcon’s next home game against Plainville at 3:00 p.m. and cheer those Falcons on!

Congratulations to SP President, Cary Dupont, who was recently awarded with the Fostering Positive Change Award from Wheeler Clinic.  Cary’s leadership as president and chief professional officer for the United Way of West Central CT helped transform the organization from a fundraising agency to a community impact model, thus initiating several collaborative projects relating to early childhood education.  We are proud to have you lead our St. Paul community!
