St. Vincent de Paul – September 2024
St Vincent DePaul Society is a Catholic lay organization that leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
*Checks made payable to Society of St. Vincent de Paul and dropped in the collection baskets will help us serve our neighbors in need throughout the Greenlawn area.
September 1st: Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
The gospel today hits home closer than we may think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Perhaps it is enough for us just to go to Mass on Sunday? Do we keep the letter of the law and miss entirely the spirit of the law. Interior righteousness means a heart turned to God. Purity of heart is expressed in righteous living: self – giving for the sake of others.
As you give your gift to the poor through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in your heart you also will find the good news of God’s love.
September 8 – Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time:
The Babe of Bethlehem: Christmas Musical Save The Date: Sunday, December 10th
Christmas is all about Baby Jesus being born into the world – and into our hearts! And there is nothing better than telling the story of Jesus’ birth as part of the parish CHRISTMAS MUSICAL!
Pastor’s Desk – October 2023
St Francis has shaken off the mood of summer – the lazy crazy days of summer – and has launched out into the deep! Religious Ed, Coffee house and PB&J Gang have burst into life.
May You Be Blessed in the Creator, Redeemer, and Sustainer
The weather was wonderful, as were the people and pets who gathered for the Blessing of the Animals in honor of our patron, St. Francis of Assisi.
