WOW!!! The end of the year is approaching, and during this time

of the year, everyone is asked to please consider closing out the

year with an end of the year gift to St. Vincent’s. St. Vincent de

Paul relies on it’s parishioner charitable financial gifts. The gifts

enable us to have the appropriate staff needed to meet the growing

needs of the parish. It helps us to maintain the cleanliness and

beauty of the buildings. It provides the opportunity for each minis-

try to grow and serve all of God’s children, and it helps to pay the

bills that continue to come in. Gifts of stocks, IRA’S and cash are

only a few ways that you can assist St. Vincent’s to be God’s

hands and message on earth. In order for your contributions to

count for this calendar year, all gifts must be received no later than

Preparación Para Bautismo en Espanol

Las instrucciones para papas y padrinos serán el 3 de Enero a las 7:00 p.m. en la oficina de la

parroquia. Los padrinos ya deben haber recibido los sacramentos de Confirmación y Primera

Comunión, y si son casados deben serlo en el Sacramento de la Iglesia Católica. Este programa

es obligatorio para quienes no lo hayan tobado antes. Seria muy bueno tomarlo durante el

embarazo. Para reservaciones llamar a la oficina 665-8933.

Los niños no son admitidos a la clase porque distraen la sesion, por favor no los traiga.

Tiendita de Artículos Religiosos Estará abierta los Domingos a las 11:00 a.m. & 1:00 p.m. Maria Rivera esta encargada de abrir la tiendita de artícu-los religiosos los Domingos a las 11:00 a.m. y después de la Misa de Español Si necesitas algún regalo para compartir en Espíritu Cristiano no dudes en visitar nuestro mostrador en la entrada principal de la Iglesia.

ADORACION AL SANTISIMO

SACRAMENTO

Cada viernes el Santísimo Sacramento está

expuesto de 9:00 a.m. - 700 p.m. todos están

invitados a tener un momento o una hora de

oración intima con Jesucristo.

Teléfonos celulares

Pedimos que por favor apaguen o cambien la señal de sus teléfonos celulares durante la Misa

para no interrumpir los ritos durante la misa.

¿Moviendose? Por favor recuerde notificar a la oficina de la parroquia su nueva dirección y numero telefónico. Varios sobres dirigidos a parroquianos que se han cambiado de casa han sido devuel-tos por el Servicio Postal, esto hace que la parroquia incurra en gastos extra de correo.

Atuendo en la Misa Es de buena educación vestirse bien para la Misa. Se evita usar prendas rotas, o prendas especialmente reveladoras o ajustadas. Pantalones cortos (shorts) no son ropa adecuada para la Misa. Dichos atuendos pueden distraer a otros, o incluso demostrar falta de respeto hacia Dios y a la iglesia. Cuando entramos a la iglesia o asistimos a la Misa, estamos en la presencia de nuestro Dios. Demostremos una actitud de modestia y recogimiento.
