Thanks for your generous support with the food drive. We still have a ways to go to help re-stock the food pantry for St. Vincent de Paul. Next time you re out grocery shopping, grab an extra can of something and place it up by the altar. It will go a long way to help a family this upcoming school year. Thank you! What is the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? From the outset, the Society has been under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul, a great saint, well-known for his works of charity. The members of the Society of SaintVincent de Paul maintain the Vincentian spirit. Their vocation rests on two basic principles: continuing prayer (deepening their faith) and the meeting with Christ through the poor. These principles lead them to serve the very poorest with a deep respect, no matter where they come from, or what they believe, developing long term and personal relationships with the people they visit. Historically, the core work of the SSVP is the home visit: from the very beginnings of the Society, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam (the leading co-founder) and his companions, went to the poor, visiting them at home in the deprived districts of Paris. This continues today, as the volunteers go to seek people in need, wherever they live: in their homes, on the street, in shelters, in hospital or in prison. Gracias por su generosidad con la campaña de colectar comida. Aún falta para re-llenar la dispensa de San Vicente de Paul. Por favor cuando vayan al supermercado, compren una lata adicional de comida y déjela ante el altar. Ayudará a una familia necesitada durante el próximo año escolar. Gracias! Qué es la Sociedad de S. Vicente de Paúl? Desde su creación, la Sociedad se situó bajo el patrocinio de San Vicente de Paúl, un gran santo muy conocido por sus obras de caridad. Los miembros de la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl perpetúan el espíritu vicentino. Su vocación se basa en dos principios fundamentales: la permanencia de la oración (profundización de la Fe) y el encuentro con Cristo a través de los pobres. Estos principios les llevan a servir a los desfavorecidos con un profundo respeto, independientemente de sus orígenes o de sus creencias, en el marco de una relación permanente. Históricamente, el corazón de la acción de la SSVP es la visita a domicilio: en los principios de la Sociedad, el Beato Federico Ozanam (principal co-fundador) y sus compañeros iban hacia los pobres, visitándoles en sus casas, en los barrios pobres de París. Todavía hoy, los voluntarios van al encuentro de las personas necesitadas, allí donde vivan: en su domicilio, en la calle, en las residencias, en el hospital, en la cárcel.

An Invitation from the Office of the Lay Pastoral Ministry Institute The Solemnity of the Most Holy Trinity: Is God Calling You to Serve as a Lay Ecclesial Minister in His Church? O my God, Trinity whom I adore, help me forget myself entirely so to establish myself in you, unmovable and peaceful as if my soul were already in eternity May I never abandon you there, but may I be there, whole and entire, completely vigilant in my faith, entirely adoring, and wholly given over to your creative action. (Prayer of Blessed Elizabeth of the Trinity) Trinity Sunday celebrates the relationship among the Father, the Son and the Holy Spirit. Ask yourself: How can my understanding of the Trinity become more of a real influence in my life? Am I willing to be given over to creative action in my faith journey? To date, 354 men and women have answered the call and been commissioned to share their gifts and talents in our diocese. New classes begin September 9, 2017. For anyone interested in attending the LPMI Year of Discernment, visit the LPMI web site at: http://dosp.org/lpmi/.
