50th Anniversary
"We've Come This Far By Faith"
St. Vincent de Paul Parish is planning an entire year of activities to celebrate its 50th anniversary. Volunteers are needed for the many events planned. If interested in helping out, please contact the appropriate chair. Let's make this a year to remember!
50th Anniversary Prayer for Our Parish
Lord, unify our parish in Your truth and love during our 50th Anniversary. Help us to show Your love to one another both within and outside our parish community. That with Your favor, each individual and every family may all be blessed and come into Your presence for everlasting happiness. May we also continue to grow in Your wisdom with the help of St. Vincent de Paul and our Blessed Mother. Through Christ, who is the Way, the Truth and the Life and who lives and reigns with you, in the unity of the Holy Spirit, one God forever and ever. Amen
