Lent.. a season of renewal
Join St Vincent de Paul as we enter the Lenten season with a goal of increasing our practice of prayer, fasting and almsgiving, seeking God’s help to strengthen our own ability to grow in virtue.
Lent is not a means unto itself, but rather a time to prepare ourselves for the celebration of Christ’s triumph over death through his glorious resurrection on Easter Sunday. Easter is the pinnacle of the Church’s liturgical year, because the resurrection of Jesus is what gives us hope for our own resurrection on the last day.
Jesus teaches about fasting, prayer and almsgiving (Mt 6:1-18) and how they enable us to express our conversion. The path of poverty and self-denial (fasting), concern and loving care for the poor (almsgiving), and childlike dialogue with the Father (prayer) make it possible for us to live lives of sincere faith, living hope and effective charity.
If you feel called to do more in your outward expression of faith during Lent, please visit our webpage to learn more about how you can get involved in serving those in need right in our community:

Merry Christmas from St Vincent de Paul
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus that the whole world should be enrolled. This was the first enrollment, when Quirinius was governor of Syria. So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town. And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem, because he was of the house and family of David, to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child. While they were there, the time came for her to have her child, and she gave birth to her firstborn son. She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger, because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields and keeping the night watch over their flock. The angel of the Lord appeared to them and the glory of the Lord shone around them, and they were struck with great fear. The angel said to them, “Do not be afraid; for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy that will be for all the people. For today in the city of David a savior has been born for you who is Messiah and Lord. And this will be a sign for you: you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes and lying in a manger.” And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel, praising God and saying: “Glory to God in the highest and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”
