Announcements
St. Vincent de Paul Parish is holding its next Family Holy Hour this Sunday, November 12.
5pm Adoration in Church; 5:30 – Movie and Hangout with Dinner and Drinks in Gym
Sisters will be there providing the beautiful music and Father Hilton is back from his pilgrimage in Spain to lead the event! This Sunday, we are going to attempt our first movie viewing for the kids in the gym following adoration (hopefully giving parents a few minutes to converse ha)! Please let us know if you can make it this week and if there are any volunteers to bring drinks; the Armijos have volunteered to bring the food already so thank you so much for doing that! (link for signup: https://www.signupgenius.com/go/8050D4DA4AD2AA3F85-family#/)
For those that have not been able to attend just yet, we would love for you to join! It is a great way to meet other families in the school and parish! We have had a number of new families attend, families that had been away from the church for awhile and families that are just looking for that genuine faith-based community time together. We welcome any and all to join and can’t wait to see those that can make it on Sunday! Email Brendan to RSVP – bkruege2@gmail.com
