Today: Mass for the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul

September 26, 2012

Please join us for the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul  at St. Thomas More Church today, Thursday, 12:15 p.m., September 27.

Each year on this day, the church and our University community honor the life and work of St. Vincent, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission. As a Vincentian university, St. John’s continues to uphold the tradition of academic excellence and service to those in need. It is through the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul that we strive to be a living institutional witness to Christ and His Gospel.

As we gather for this special mass, we consider the challenge to enter this political season as persons of faith. Following the example of St. Vincent de Paul, we seek the common good for all—especially those living in poverty or under oppression.

Join us as we pray for the wisdom to strengthen our efforts to be Vincentian, faith-filled citizens.
