St. Vincent de Paul Church

Dear Friends and Families of St. Vincent de Paul,

I want to take this opportunity to thank Dominic Bankovitch and his scouting companions from Troop 14 for volunteering to clean-up and take care of the parish garden. I am also so grateful for the donation of the statue of Our Lady to be erected in the garden. All the churches that I have been associated with over my fifty years have a statue dedicated to Our Lady. I would also like to thank the Men's Club for supporting Dominic financially with his project expenses.

What is more fitting is that during the month of October, which is dedicated to Mary, we should have a statue erected in her honor. I hope that we can have our garden open for viewing very shortly. Dominic is becoming an Eagle Scout and this was his project. I am sure that our lady will bless these young men and their fathers for this great gift to our parish. I would also ask if we have a volunteer that would give some time to the upkeep of Our Blessed Mother’s Garden. We will encourage our SVDP students to visit with their class to spend in this sacred space or other parishioners who would enjoy a space to pray and meditate. 

It will not be a place for bed and breakfast!

Amen!

Fr. Mike
Parish Administrator
