St. Vincent de Paul Church

"St. Vincent’s is a unique church."

Everybody says so. Some say it as a compliment; some say it as an insult.
But everybody says we’re unique. What makes us unique?

We have a very old (1840) and very beautiful church. Some people love it just for the history and the architecture.
We draw parishioners from all over. Most of the weekend congregation is from the city and the five surrounding counties, but our mailing list includes people in 14 other states and 3 other countries, and our ancestors are from 4 continents.
We really have fun at liturgy. Each of our four weekend masses has a slightly different character. But each is a real community.
We operate more like a large family than a small institution. The pastor and the Parish Council give some leadership, but most thing we do bubble up from the people rather than coming down from above.
We take Scripture and Sacrament very seriously, the rest not too seriously, and ourselves not seriously at all.

Come visit and decide for yourself whether “unique”
is a compliment or an insult.
