Words to Live Into

Posted on April 29, 2019 by Editor 01

Come see the brand new banner on the exterior of our beautiful old church. The words, drawn from the parish Mission Statement, proclaim how we commit to love, serve and challenge one another. We hope and believe that this commitment will have resonance for the larger communities of which our parish is a part: our neighborhood, our city, our nation, and the community of the entire People of God. While you’re here, ask for a tour of the church. Or join us for a weekday Noon service, or a weekend Mass. See in our liturgies how we have found that the mind of Jesus is expansive, welcoming, warm, liberating, and affirming! Read the entire parish Mission Statement here.

New Exterior Signs for St V’s coming spring 2019

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Editor 01

The signs will be installed in the spring, made of wood with metal posts, and faced with acrylic. One will be installed at each corner of St. V’s campus.
     Two of the signs will be built to accommodate a changeable vinyl banner above. These can be used to let the larger community know of special events at the church, or to give viewers approaching from different directions a version of the banner on the back (west) wall of the church. The oval image on each sign indicates that St. Vincent’s is on the National Register of Historic Places. The text of each sign as proposed reads:


Welcome to Historic St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church 
Dedicated 1841
WORD SACRAMENT SERVICE
stvchurch.org 120 N. Front St. 21202

On July 15, 2018, the community of St. Vincent, joined by Bishop Denis Madden, blessed the bronze of Homeless Jesus by Canadian sculptor Timothy Schmalz.  The statue, an anonymous gift to the Archdiocese of Baltimore, was installed in St. Vincent Park among the benches where many homeless people rest.
