New Catholics to Saint V

Mass

• One Mass each day is live streamed here (Mon-Sat @ 8:15 AM, Sun @ 9:00 AM).
• Our Mass Schedule is found here (which includes upcoming holidays).
• The 11:00 AM Mass is the most popular, so we recommend arriving at least 10 minutes early, to find seating.

Confession

• Confession times here.
• Priests hear confessions in the confessional (screen and face to face options) and church alcoves (face to face).  See Map Here.

Adoration

We have perpetual adoration in the Oratory of Saint Mary Magdelene (across Wallen Road from the school office).  The doors lock after 10:00 PM and open again at 5:00 AM.  We highly recommend going for a time of prayer - it is beautiful!  

Parish Office

Located in the Gathering Space of the church.  See #3 on the Map.

Joining the Parish

To register as official members of St. Vincent’s parish, please stop by the Parish Office (located in the Gathering Space of the church) during office hours.  The registration consists of completing a short form with information about you, your family, & your sacraments.  

Entering In at Saint Vincent's

We are a Called & Gifted Parish.  Called and Gifted is a workshop for discerning your God-given gifts (charisms) for your mission in the Church.  All parishioners should attend, as soon as they are able to.  Workshop details here.  

Every new parishioner (anyone who hasn't yet) should attend the Christ Renews His Parish retreat.  Father Daniel would like all parishioners to attend.  It is a great way to meet other parishioners, make lasting friendships, and grow in a relationship with Christ.

Nursery

The nursery, located off the gathering space, is open to parents for use during Mass.  We are not currently staffing the nursery, but parents are welcome to utilize the space and nursery items as needed.

Lost & Found

Lost & Found is located in the west entryway cabinets between the double entry doors.  See # 9 on the map here.

Collections

We collect:

• Hotel shampoo, soap, etc. - (west entryway drop) These are packaged into "Bags of Blessings" for the homeless shelters
• Used Eyeglasses - Collected by the Lions Club (entryway drop) & Saint Vincent's Parish Medical Mission to Honduras (basket inside the gathering space by the Saint Vincent de Paul Society display)
• Cards for Nursing Home Residents - (basket inside the gathering space by the Saint Vincent de Paul Society display)
• Old American Flags - (cabinet in the west entryway) Knights of Columbus respectfully dispose of these old flags in an annual flag burning ceremony.
• Nonperishable Food - for the Saint Vincent de Paul Society (in the wooden bin, under the Saint Vincent de Paul Society display)

These various collection locations are shown on the map here, under numbers 9 & 10.

Handicap accessible pews

Handicap-accessible pews are located in the front of our church on each side of the sanctuary.  See #15 on the map.  Handicap parking is available at all church entrances.  We have a wheelchair and walker available to help anyone in need to enter, exit, and attend Mass.  Ask at the parish office.

Low Gluten Hosts

Low gluten Hosts are available:  please check with the sacristan before Mass for our procedures.  Host content is approved by the U.S. Conference of Catholic Bishops.

Wedding Anniversaries

A wedding anniversary blessing is possible for a marriage between a man and a woman who are in a canonically validated marriage.  Renewal of Vows is no longer allowed according to the new Marriage Rite.  The time and date of the Anniversary Blessing is subject to the availability of the Church and Blessed Sacrament Chapel as well as the Liturgical schedule and/or parish events. 

Due to the sheer volume of requests, Anniversary Blessings during Sunday Mass (or Saturday Vigil Mass) are reserved for 25, 50, 60, 70, or 75-year anniversaries.  Marriage Blessings for other years will be offered before or after Masses. 

A Mass intention may be scheduled for any anniversary. 

Pictures will be published in the bulletin for 50, 60, 70, and 75 year anniversaries if they are received at least 2 weeks prior to the anniversary weekend (at [email protected]).

Prayers of the Faithful Intentions

At weekend Masses, we, as a parish, pray for immediate family members of registered parishioners who have died.  If you know of the death of a mother, father, sibling, child, or spouse of a registered parishioner, please contact the Parish Office at 489-3537 ext. 3.

Parish Library

St. Vincent's Parish Library is located in the Gathering Space (See #5 on the map). The library contains books, CDs, and DVDs which may be checked out for home use.  To take an item home, place the laminated copy of the item's cover in the letterbox and write your information on the sign-out sheet (the code for the item is on the "hot pink" sticker).  All books (except Reference books) can be checked out for three (3) weeks; CDs and DVDs should be checked out for only 1 week at a time.  When you are finished with the book, CD, or DVD, place it in the "Book Return" basket.  There is also a "Donation" basket for any books that you wish to donate (subject to Fr. Dan's approval).  The library is open when the church is open and it is yours to enjoy!
