“The Lenten Season has a double character, namely to prepare both catechumens and faithful to celebrate the paschal mystery. The catechumens, both with the Rite of Election and Scrutinies, and by catechesis, are prepared for the celebration of the sacraments of Christian initiation; the faithful, ever more attentive to the Word of God and prayer, […]

Dear Fellow Parishioners, Ā Ā We are heading into that three-day celebration of Halloweāen, All Saintsā and All Soulsā Days, perhaps the greatest mixture of Christian spirituality, pagan roots, and past and present custom to beĀ found in the Church calendar. Put somewhat differently, itās not immediately clear what Celtic folklore, carving pumpkins, honoring the saints, praying […]
Dear Fellow Parishioners, From time to time, the parish office receives inquiries from people seeking information on their ancestors, whether in trying to complete a family genealogy, or to establish a claim of dual citizenship to another country through ancestry. (For example, since the birth rate in Italy is among the lowest in Europe, itās […]
Dear Fellow Parishioners, As we approach the end of the year, we are also coming to the close of the 2024 Annual Ministries Appeal. Sometimes this is incorrectly referred to as the “Bishop’s Appeal”, when in fact it is overwhelmingly an appeal to support lay ministries that the parishes share at the diocesan level. They […]

Our parish mission statement identifies St. Vincentās as a Eucharist centered people who, as the Body of Christ, live our faith in word and deed by sharing our time, talent, and treasure to support one another and serve those in need.
This website is intended not only to provide you with the information you need about our parish but also to help us build up our life as a community and so help us in our mission. It provides a way for us to connect with each other; and we invite you to use it to share stories, to learn about whatās happening and whatās coming up, and to provide information you think we all need to hear. This site will evolve as our parish evolves; it belongs to all of us. I hope you find it helpful.
This hymn speaks to the atmosphere, design, and heart of St. Vincentās parish: there is a place here for everyone. In fact, you are not only welcomed, but needed! As we explore and expand our ideas of just what a Church community is, we recognize first that pivotal life events occur in church: weddings, baptisms, First Communion, Confirmation; but, we also find that we need community in order to be a Spirit filled Church where we praise God, share our faith, and help one another by way of fellowship, and the numerous ministries available to all parishioners. Through our stewardship, the gift of our time and talent, there is a wonderful opportunity to give and receive, to make friends, to help friends, to see how our talents are a gift from God made for sharing. We are bonded to a group of people with whom we already have at least one thing in common, and that is our faith. It is our hope that you will use this community website to build bridges and connect with one another, and see that each of us, too, is a gift from God meant to be shared.
