The annual Shrove Tuesday Pancake Supper is traditionally hosted by the E-Males. The community is invited.

Before Monroe’s primary for council and mayoral candidates, St. Paul’s held a "Get to Know the Candidates" meeting.   The meeting was open to the community. We live streamed the event so anyone could watch.  Our senior warden, Melinda Plue, organized the event. The moderator, Dr. Joseph Ellis of Wingate University and vestry member, asked each candidate a total of five questions. Two mayoral candidates and five city council candidates were guests. 

After the Fourth Sunday in Advent service, members traditionally stay to decorate the church for Christmas.

The evening of December 22, 2025 members from St. Paul's joined people from the community to carol on nearby Church St. and Houston St.

St. Paul’s annually hosts a “Blessing of the Animals” for the Monroe community. The event is held in the St. Francis’ Garden, pictured here, around the Feast of St. Francis. Neighbors are invited to bring their well-behaved pets or the pets’ photos.

During Lent, St. Paul’s cooperates with local churches to host a simple noonday lunch and a Stations of the Cross procession.
