Parishioners will need to register for the Mass they plan on attending. This information will allow us to contact attendees should someone become ill.
This is NOT to reserve a spot. NO confirmation email be sent.

We will be prepared to resume Mass this coming weekend, June 13-14.  We have been working over the last few weeks to ensure that Masses resume in the safest manner possible. Father Michael Farano will be celebrating all three of our Masses. (5:00pm Sat and 8:30am & 11:00am Sun.)  Here is what to expect when attending Mass. We understand that coming back to Mass is going to be a difficult choice for many. We will continue to tape and upload Mass on to our  YouTube Page. 

Great News! We are posting our weekly Masses with Fr Farano. You can find it on the Sunday Liturgy page which is located under the Prayer & Spirituality tab

Greetings from the Stewardship Council (formerly the Finance Committee)! I am pleased to write with good news and gratitude.
The good news: as we closed the books on the 2020 fiscal year, which ended June 30^th, we noticed something remarkable. Our weekly offertory in fiscal year 2020 exceeded 2019, by itself a wonderful piece of news. However, the combination of offertory and food pantry donations yielded the highest total giving in the last five years. It is also worth noting that the food pantry attracted significant contributions from the local community, showing how much that service is appreciated.
The gratitude: your generosity, which included a period of tremendous anxiety and uncertainty, is humbling. I hope it is also a source of encouragement for the entire parish, to see how we come together and support the mission of St. Vincent’s to care for one another and our community. Unlike many churches, St. Vincent’s has stayed open throughout the pandemic, with appropriate precautions. Elizabeth and the entire staff have served us all with dedication and fortitude. Kudos to all for persevering until now. May we remain strong and faithful for the future.
I’ll be making the annual financial report to the parish in the fall, as usual. Many more details will be shared at that time. For now, please know how much your support is valued and appreciated, as are your ongoing prayers.

  In the midst of the pandemic the mission of the Church must go on SAFELY.
      The Food Pantry has been asked to expand its operation. We are packing bags of groceries 5 days a week to serve those in need. In order to accomplish this we need  additional volunteers as many of our Food Pantry volunteers are in the more vulnerable category due to age. We will be limiting 6 volunteers per time slot to allow of the 6ft distancing. All volunteers will have gloves and parishioners are working on sewing mask for volunteers to wear. If you or family members are at home, with time on their hands and the will to do good please consider volunteering.
