On Sunday, September 27, the Church celebrates the feast day of St. Vincent de Paul, a 17th-century French priest who dedicated his life to serving people who were poor, sick and forgotten. His example continues today through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and its commitment to seeing the face of Christ in those in need.

Our St. Vincent de Paul members will receive a special blessing during the 10:00 AM Mass that morning, and all members are encouraged to attend. St. Joseph School will be hosting the Mass, making the occasion especially meaningful as our students participate in service projects supporting the work of St. Vincent de Paul.

We give thanks for the dedicated members of our parish conference and their faithful service to individuals and families throughout our community.
