New Exterior Signs for St V’s coming spring 2019

Posted on March 9, 2019 by Editor 01

Our parish is the happy recipient of a grant from the Baltimore National Heritage Area. The grant is to be used to install new exterior signs. These will help our neighbors in Baltimore to know a little more about us. The signs will be installed in the spring. They will be sturdy, made of wood with metal posts, and faced with acrylic. One will be installed at each corner of St. V’s campus.
     Two corners will also include a smaller interpretive sign, with information about the history of the church building and the parish. Additionally, 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 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

There is also an oval image on each sign that indicates that St. Vincent’s is on the National Register of Historic Places.

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.

Baltimore’s Homeless Jesus to Rest Among Those Experiencing Homelessness

Posted on June 27, 2018 by Editor 01

The life-sized bronze statue by Ontario artist Timothy Schmalz, which can be found in more than 60 cities across the globe including the Vatican, will be installed on the grounds of St. Vincent. In other cities, the statue has been placed in an area where it serves as a reminder to securely housed people that Jesus was himself homeless and that He called for Christians to care for “these least brothers of mine” (Mt. 25:40). In addition to that message, this one will serve as a reminder to those who are experiencing homelessness that they are like Christ. Continue reading →
