Meet Fr. Vin −The Gift of Family

As the pastor of three parishes in Dorchester and Mattapan, Fr. Vin’s responsibilities are extraordinary. While his daily work is a source of great joy, it’s the love and devotion of a special sister named Connie that restores his spirit.

When Fr. Vin’s parents passed away, he and his sister Eileen became the sole guardians of their disabled sister. For Fr. Vin, being a brother and a priest for Connie is an immense blessing. The unconditional love that he receives from Connie—especially at the end of a busy day— continues to fill his heart with gratitude.

Fr. Vin selflessly dedicates his life in service to others. This Christmas, show your gratitude with a gift that cares for Fr. Vin and the health and well-being of all the priests who faithfully serve our Archdiocese of Boston.

Text the word PRIEST to 56512 or make a gift through your parish collection at Christmas Mass.

Thank you for your generous support of the Clergy Health and Retirement Trust.

“A priest, whoever he may be, is always another Christ.”

-Saint Josemaría Escrivá

To submit your special intentions to be remembered by our senior priests during the celebration of Holy Mass at Regina Cleri each week, please visit clergyfunds.org/intentions.

To watch a short video on Fr. Vin and Connie,visit clergyfunds.org.
