Dear St. Vincent de Paul Parish Family,
Happy Easter!
During this time of uncertainty and anxiety, I pray that you and your loved ones are safe and healthy. This crisis challenges us to act responsibly by following the social isolation guidelines while striving to stay close emotionally and spiritually to our families, our friends and our communities. Please join me in praying for those affected by COVID-19, as well as our first responders, health care workers and individuals who have lost income due to precautionary closures.
I also want to take a moment to thank you for your past generosity to our St. Vincent de Paul Parish. We could not operate without your support.  
With Masses across the Archdiocese canceled, our traditional manner for collecting offertory is not available to us. However, the costs of running the parish continue and planning for renewed activities once we re-unite in person goes on. 
I prayerfully ask you to consider continuing your support for our parish and the good works of our faith. Online giving for both the weekly offertory and other important collections is quick and easy by visiting our website.  You can also send checks and/or your weekly envelopes directly to St. Vincent de Paul Church at 14 M St. SE, Washington, DC 20003 and I want to express my sincere gratitude to those who are already doing.
As a community, we stand together and are there for each other during this time of need. Thank you for your continued generosity to further the mission of our faith!
Please continue to pray for each other, as I continue to pray for you. I live stream my daily mass from Monday to Friday at 12:10PM and my Sunday mass at 10:00AM. You can participate by going to Facebook https://www.facebook.com/andygonzalo.
 
Sincerely in Christ,
 
Fr. Andy Gonzalo
 

Thank you to all our generous donors for supporting the tiling of the Sanctuary. The Sanctuary tiling has been completed, and we are now resuming our masses back in the main Church upstairs. The Church is in continued need for additional improvements, so we humbly welcome your support and donations to help our parish, with opportunities linked below. 

St Vincent de Paul is continuing its process of doing much needed repairs and upgrades.  Our decades-old carpet needs replacing.  We can replace the carpet with tile which will last a lifetime but we need your help. For $200 you can have your name, family’s, or someone else’s memorialized on our giving tree.  You can donate via check with marking it for the tile or online at https://stvincentdepauldc.org/give.  You can fill out your leaf on this form.  Thank you and God bless.
 

Update: 12/8/2018: For years, there had been no statue of our Patron Saint in our church until we got one from Fr. Pawel Sass last year. Today, we finally got our own thanks much to the generosity of our donors. Many thanks too to Gardiner Hall and Associates who found this for us.Our parish depends on the generosity of all of you as we try to repair and restore our church.May St. Vincent de Paul pray for all of us.
