First Communion:

  • Congratulations to our children who make their First Communion today at St. Vincent: Jack , Henry , Hailey, and Nickolas. What a joyous event for these children!
  • Pope Francis has called it the “Sacrament of Love”    “The Eucharist is at the heart of ‘Christian initiation’, together with Baptism and Confirmation, and it constitutes the source of the Church’s life itself. From this Sacrament of love, in fact, flows every authentic journey of faith, of communion, and of witness.”

St. Vincent Stewardship Forms:

  • Please return your Stewardship Forms soon. If at all possible, it is good to be involved in some form of ministry in the parish. Usually one gets more out of it than they give. I am making a plea for people who may be willing and able to be with the Jr. High Youth Group on Friday nights from 6:30 – 8:00 p.m. or High School Youth on Sunday nights from 6:00 – 7:30 p.m. Not every week, but some-times. Billy Cross is doing a super job, but he cannot do it alone. We need some good people to help; to be chaperones. Spring and summer are the fun times to be involved with the youth..

  • The Baby Bottle Campaign at St. Joseph and St. Vincent benefiting Clarity will begin Mothers’ Day Weekend, May 11th – 12th. Clarity provides, among its many services, pregnancy care, ultrasounds, adoption service referrals and education. Please be generous with you offerings of coin, dollars or checks. Please return your filled bottles no later than Fathers’ Day weekend, June 15th – 16th.
