Next Friday is our Faith Rally!

What is a Faith Rally, you may ask? An all-day event, our school Faith Rally begins with Mass and continues with activities throughout the day, including a student led lesson on giving and receiving God’s love, attending the 8th grade Passion Play, and having times of prayer, adoration and community fun. Our Faith Rally day ends with adoration and benediction of the Blessed Sacrament and songs of praise.  This year we welcome, Father Patrick Mary Briscoe, a Dominican priest who will help lead the day. The theme of the day is “Love one another intensely with a pure heart.” (2 Peter) 

Time to purchase your yearbook (online sales only).  Click on this link and enter our school code 4357124.  Order deadline is April 5th!

Join St. Vincent de Paul Parish for a Fish Fry on  03/15 & 03/22

Diaper Drive — URGENT MISSION – WE NEED YOU – We are only 1/3 of our goal

Attention Agents of Compassion! Your mission, should you choose to accept it, is to embark on a covert operation to ensure the well-being and comfort of our littlest recruits. Our mission, codenamed “Diaper Possible,” involves executing a top-secret Diaper Drive at St Vincent de Paul.

🚀 Objective: We are asking the community of St. Vincent de Paul to donate as many diapers (size 4-6) from now until March 19th. We will have agents in the carpool lane every Tuesday morning/afternoon to collect your donations. You can also drop them off at the front office.

📢 Rallying Cry:

“Agents, assemble! Our smallest comrades are in need, and it’s time for us to make a difference. The success of ‘Diaper Possible’ relies on your generosity and commitment. Remember, no contribution is too small when it comes to ensuring the comfort and well-being of our tiniest teammates. Let’s make this mission an overwhelming success!”

Godspeed, Agents! The future of diaper security rests in your hands. 🍼💼

SVdP Serves….in their own words.
