First Communion

I am the bread of life. Your ancestors ate the manna in the desert, but they died; this is the bread that comes down from heaven so that one may eat it and not die (John 6:48-50).

Formation of the Family

St. Vincent de Paul church in addition offers family catechism. This program is designed to help parents grow in their faith and assist for a better understanding to the process of the Mass, the sacrament of Reconciliation, the Eucharist, and what the church teaches now. Parent participation is essential to the success of this sacramental preparation program. Parents are asked not just attend classes, but also to play an active role in all the events of our parish.
