Como muchos de ustedes saben, todos los domingos a las 12:30 del día nosotros celebramos la Eucaristía en español en nuestro templo de San Vicente de Paul, con la ayuda de músicos, lectores y transmisores en vivo y virtualmente a través de Facebook y el sitio de nuestra iglesia en la Red (Internet).
Tenemos una lista de asistentes, en presencia y desde sus hogares, a quienes les mandamos recordatorios cada sábado, junto con los cantos del día. Si ustedes han venido a la Misa, pero no están en nuestra lista, por favor envíen sus nombres y correos electrónicos a:
Aurora Camacho de Schmidt: acamach1@swarthmore.edu

Deseamos que crezca nuestra congregación de habla española. Por favor inviten a sus familiares, amigos y vecinos a unirse con nosotros a esta misión de San Vicente de Paul en Germantown.
¡Mil gracias!
Fr. Amalraj Sawarimuthu, SdC, a priest of the Servants of Charity, will be preaching, on behalf of the Mission Cooperation Appeal, at the Masses on the weekend of August 6th and 7th . The Servants of Charity, founded by the recently canonized (in 2011) St. Luigi Guanella, are an international congregation whose ministries, primarily, are with persons with intellectual disabilities; the elderly who are poor; and children in difficulty. The Servants of Charity serve at residential programs for persons with intellectual disabilities (The Communities of Don Guanella and Divine Providence and St. Edmond’s Home) in the Archdiocese of Philadelphia.
Fr. Amal will be speaking on behalf of the missions of the Servants of Charity in India, Philippines, the Solomon Islands and Vietnam in which the Servants of Charity serve orphans, persons with physical handicaps, persons with intellectual disabilities, persons with mental illness, undernourished pre-school children and the frail elderly. A second collection will be taken up at the Masses during the weekend of August 6th and 7th and your generous support of their missionary efforts would be much appreciated.
St Vincent’s has a reputation for being a parish that prioritizes social justice and combating racism, but this reputation can cause us to feel that others should be doing the work of learning and improving—not us. In fact, being good at anything requires lifelong learning, humility, and the willingness to critically evaluate ourselves and find out how we can do better.
All of this starts with listening to each other across our St Vincent’s family. We will look at many other ways to guide our parish toward racial justice, with the help of the Holy Spirit. If you would like to share your experience at a future Mass, please contact the reflection coordinator, Dorina Opferman, at dpsinger16@aol.com.
Walk through pickup of pre-packaged food bags
[The pantry is well stocked with cereal & pasta & is out of space to store these items]
Bring to Mass or drop on Rectory porch (in afternoon)
Monetary donations are also accepted to allow for purchasing of needed items
Face to Face is currently offering to-go meals, fresh produce, and non-perishable supplies in individual bags and family boxes to anyone in need. These are distributed in the large parking lot next to our building.
Our distribution schedule is Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from noon (12pm) to 2pm. Individuals can line up (properly spaced out) in front of our building on the sidewalk and we we have just one group of people come into the lot to collect items at a time to help keep everyone safe. Mondays we hand out non-perishable bags as well as a hot meal and on Fridays we also distribute toiletry kits with soap and other items.
We are asking that folks who come to collect food share their name, household size, and a phone number where we can reach them so that our staff can call and check in on them and see if there is anything else we can do to help.
We are also still offering our Legal and Social Services over the phone.
See the calendar for more upcoming events.

Saludos Mi Familia de San Vicente de Paúl, “Come sleep in our room tonight?” one of the families asked. With tears in my eyes, I did. All five of us packed into their already crowded room. I’m currently laying on my mattress, which we dragged up the stairs. They’re all snoring. I leave for the […]

We have embarked upon a campaign to restore the interior of St. Vincent's Church. It is the Joy Wuenschel Memorial Fund, and you can read more about it here. You can also learn more about it through this video, "Giving with Joy"
We pledged to the Joy Wuenschel Memorial Fund because we strongly value St.Vincent’s. St.Vincent’s follows the gospel of peace and justice for all peoples and acts on it. For this church to thrive and survive we all need to do our best to pledge what we can.
