St. Vincent de Paul Parish

St. Vincent de Paul will open this Pentecost Weekend May 30 & 31.
Masses will be held our regular times on
Saturdays 4:00 pm
and Sundays 8:00 & 11:00 am.
 
Weekday Masses will be held again starting
Monday, June 1 through Thursday, June 4 at 9:00 am.

 In the light of the continuing and specific danger presented by this virus to older people and those with certain health conditions, the obligation to take part in the Mass on Sundays and Holy Days of Obligation continues to be lifted.

As our government prepares to reopen the Massachusetts economy, the Baker-Polito administration will provide guidance that each sector, industry, and business must follow.

The social guidance all individuals must follow
to reduce the risk of new COVID-19 transmission:
• Cover your face
• Wash your hands
• Socially distance - six feet apart at all times
• Be vigilant for symptoms
• Stay home if you feel sick

All places of worship shall limit occupancy to 40 percent of the building’s maximum permitted occupancy level as documented in its occupancy permit on record with the municipal building department or other municipal record holder. The occupant count shall include all persons inside the place of worship, including attendees and staff.
This is a maximum of 112 total for St. Vincent de Paul Church.

Partners in Charity:  Our collection for the 2020 Partners in Charity continues. Many of you have already been contacted directly. For those of you who have not, we are enclosing a donation form. Please consider this most worthy appeal. This year we are making a shift in emphasis from total amount collected towards our parish goal to simply increasing the number of gifts. Last year we had 66 gifts. It would be nice to pass that number this year.
 

A Prayer in Time of Pandemic

O God, whose Only Begotten Son bore the weight of human suffering for our salvation, hear the prayers of your Church for our sick brothers and sisters and deliver us from this time of trial. Open our ears and our hearts to the voice of your Son: Be not afraid, for I am with you always. Bless all doctors and nurses, researchers and public servants; give us the wisdom to do what is right and the faith to endure this hour, that we might gather once again to praise your name in the heart of your Church, delivered from all distress and confident in your mercy. Through Christ our Lord. Amen
