Starting April 8, 2020, our Wednesday Adoration will be moved earlier at 6:00PM until 7:00PM. You are all invited to join us either for the whole hour or just for some minutes after work before you head home. Confessions will also be available during this hour as always. Happy Easter and do stay safe always.
To my dear St. Vincent Family, Hope you are all doing well. The social distancing and restrictions on assembling prevent us from celebrating Easter together in the church. But we still proclaim with our lives our joy in the renewal of the world, our Easter joy. Many are suffering from Coronavirus and we keep them all in our prayers. One thing is sure, no one is suffering from the loss of our Easter joy. No pandemic can destroy Easter. Christ is Risen and is alive in our hearts. You are all in m y prayers. Happy Easter.--- Fr. Andy

Dear St. Vincent de Paul Family, I pray that you are all doing well. This has certainly been an unprecedented week in our nation and around the world. It seems that almost every few hours we are receiving updated information and guidance from the Archdiocese as well as local, national and world leaders and global health experts. I know how easy it is for us to feel overwhelmed by it all, but let us not lose hope. The news we hear seems dire and no reprieve seems on the immediate horizon. But this is precisely why it is so important that we get and remain grounded in our faith. With the cancellations of public masses, I continue to urge you to have your masses on TV and unite each other in our prayers. I will be offering my mass for your intentions. We continue to pray for those who are ill with this virus and for those who care for them, especially in countries that have been most affected. We also pray for health and frontline workers as they face their daily tasks. And we remember those communities, employees and businesses that have been affected as a result of the virus. While lots of things have been canceled by the coronavirus, but love is not one of them. Most of all, let us remember this- God is in control and we are in His hands. You are in my prayers and thoughts. Fr. Andy
