pastor's CornerMay 9, 2021Dear Friends and Families of St. Vincent de Paul,
"A mother's love is a blessing, no matter where you roam;
love her while she is with you because you will miss her when she is gone."
These are the words/lyrics to an old, Irish song dedicated to mothers. The Irish have always had a strong relationship with their mothers because they understand the concept of motherhood. In this way, some would speculate that Jesus was Irish - After all, who else would be living at home with their mother at the age of 30, but a Catholic!
Motherhood has informed all of us throughout our lives. We can learn so much by the relationship between Mary and her son Jesus. It was Mary's influence that brought forth the great miracle of changing the water into wine at the "Marriage Feast of Cana."
Jesus grew up under the watchful care of his mother, even when trouble would approach him. Mary tried to protect Jesus as much as she could by shielding him from some of the perils throughout his young life. When Jesus lay on the cross, his finals words were "Son, behold thy Mother and Mother, behold thy Son." Jesus asked Saint John to watch over his mother Mary following his death.
In these days, it is right and fitting to honor our mothers daily and to affirm not only the importance society has in acknowledging the greatness of mothers, but husbands and children as well. Families must always appreciate the value of their mothers, grandmothers, aunts, cousins and friends. I am glad that in this country, we have legislation that vows to care for mothers and their children who are in need and struggling. I ask that each of us pray for all the mothers in this world, as we gather to pray on Sunday, Mother's Day.
Amen.

*Reservation Procedure for Attending Mass
Updated starting Sunday April 18, 2021
Dear Parishioners,
As per the San Francisco Archdiocese, we are no longer restricted to just 50% capacity, as long as we can keep our distance and provide other protocols that help protect all parishioners. But since we have not figured out yet how many exactly we can accommodate in the church following the 6 feet social distancing rule, we will stick to the current count of 125 people who can enter the Church.
Please check through here: https://svdpsf.org/mass-procedures to see the rules and processes.
You need to reserve your spot by sending an email to: churchoffice@svdpsf.com Without a reservation, you can not enter the church.
Without a reservation, you will not be allowed to enter the church.
Parishioners need to call/email the rectory Monday thru Friday before 4pm to reserve a seat at Mass. Emails sent on the weekends will go unanswered.
Blessings,
Fr. Michael Healy
Monsignor Harry, Fr. Michael Strange, and Fr. Roy
