Youth Mission Trip

20 youth and chaperones from St. Vincent de

Paul will be traveling to the Dominican Republic

to serve at an NPH orphanage! Last summer

was our first Youth Mission trip to the Dominican.

Thank you to all of the parishioners

who donated supplies that filled 16 suitcases

for us to bring down to this home!

NPH (Nuestros Pequeños Hermanos)

has orphanages in 9 countries and was

originally started in Mexico by a priest,

Fr. William B. Wasson, in 1954.

Our trip is set for August 11-17, 2020!

All youth in 9th-12th grade are able to attend. If you have a

heart for service, this is the trip for you! Nichole Chang, Deacon Larry Lawinger,

JoAnn Lawinger, and John Boyle will be leading the 2020 trip.

We are excited that Fr. Zehren will be joining the group as well!

Contact Nichole Chang to register at nicholechang@saintvdp.org.

More details are also on our web site.

Perpetual Eucharistic Adoration

The hours in red

indicate we have no

adorers for those hours

and are in urgent need.

We are looking for an

Hourly Coordinator for 2 AM.

This means you would be calling subs

for any vacancies during this hour.

We are also looking for a Quadrant Coordinator for the Noon

to 5 PM shift. This means that you would be checking attendance

once a week and helping call for subs when the

Hourly Coordinator cannot be reached. The pay is heavenly!!!

If you are interested, call Joanne Newman at 763-420-4089.

Thank you for be ing

a part o f our

pari sh family!

I am in Italy this week with a group of parish-

ioners enjoying la dolce vita. The plan is to

soak up as much as possible of the ancient

churches, glorious domes, frescoes, fountains,

art, galleries, sculpture, ruins, tombs, relics, catacombs, vistas,

pasta, antipasto, pizza, tiramisu, gelato, wine, limoncello,

culture, and history – all in a temperate climate.

Beyond all the good things that we will receive, we hope

mostly to make the trip an offering. We offer ourselves to

God that He may speak to us in profound moments of prayer.

We want to know deeper communion with the saints and

angels and the Body of Christ through His Church.

Life is a struggimento (a mix of gut-churning misery and yearn-

ing) yet it is mozzafiato (breath-taking and awe-inspiring).

Thank God for the Roman Catholic Church, the Barque of

Peter, for guiding us through the agony and the ecstasy to our

destiny – the true Eternal City of heaven.

From our Pastor

Help pack highly nutritional meals for the

hungry children of the world.

We pack the third Friday of every month

Meet new friends, have a good time and

Children’s Liturgy of the

Word (CLOW) has Begun ONLY at 11 AM Mass

Children’s Liturgy of the Word is now offered at

the 11 AM Mass each Sunday.

(CLOW is discontinued at 9 AM Mass due to lack of volunteers.)

CLOW is when first and second graders leave Mass after the

priest sends them forth after the opening prayer.

They leave with two Virtus-trained leaders and proceed to the

West Meeting Room where the children celebrate a simplified

version of the Liturgy of the Word. The children return at

Preparation of the Gifts (collection time). It is a time of prayer

and not a class, so it does not duplicate religion class in

SVDP School or Faith Formation classes.

No fee and no registration required.

A collection for Zanewood Elementary

School, a school in our district which has a

staggering 30% of its student body who

are homeless. This collection helps to

provide whatever resources the school will

need to help these students.

Book Fair Nov. 23 & 24

Following the inspiration of our patron saint,

St. Vincent de Paul, we seek to open our doors

wide to help educate the minds, hearts,

and souls of young people.

Since we launched The Blessings Fund in 2016, the number of

families that have applied for assistance has gone up 38%,

and the number that have qualified for assistance has gone up

63%! Unfortunately, due to this increase, we only have one

more school year of funding available.

All money raised during Give to the Max will be put into

The Blessings Fund so we are able to continue to provide the

gift of tuition assistance at our Parish School.

Give to the Max Day is officially Nov. 14. But donations can be given now –

go to school.saintvdp.org and click on the Give to the Max

Image to donate.

The KC’s wish to thank the parishioners of St. Vincent de Paul

who attended our breakfasts on Sept. 29 and Oct. 27.

Your generosity allowed us to present donations of $1,605 to

Sharing and Caring Hands and $1,800 to WomenSource.

Both organizations provide services to those individuals in

need of your support.

The KC’s are committed to unity, charity and fraternity with

our fellow brother Knights. It is our primary objective to

provide support to our church, school and surrounding commu-

nities. We continue to add and welcome new members.

The 40 Days for life 2019 fall

campaign initial numbers are in!

Thanks to everyone around the world for

this life saving effort. 424 babies around

the world (Source: 40daysforlife.com) were

saved thanks to the numerous volunteers who contributed

powerful prayer time in front of the darkness of abortion

clinics. We pray for the strength to continue bringing the

light of Christ to women and men who have lost hope and

courage to choose life over the devastation of abortion.

If you’re interested in how to help, please call the office and

we can call you back.

If you’re in need of help with an unplanned

pregnancy (current or past), there is help for you!
