St. Vincent de Paul has many Ministries & Organizations available to parishioners of every age group who are called to serve within the parish. We truly believe there is a "place for everyone". Our hope is that as you navigate through the lists you will find those that appeal to you. We are a Welcoming Parish and strive to fulfill everyone's needs.
As we prepare for the Ministry Fair on the weekend of March 4th/5th, we are including a tool to help discern which areas of ministry that you have been blessed to serve. As St Paul tells us in1st Corinthians (1 COR 12: 4-5) “Now there are varieties of gifts, but the same Spirit. And there are varieties of ministries, but the same Lord.” So if your wondering what gifts the Spirit has graced you with, please take 20 minutes and complete the attached Spiritual Gift Inventory from St Austin’s Parish. This tool can help you discover where God may be calling you or possibly affirm participation in ministries you already serve.
Please invest a few minutes of time with the Spiritual Gift Inventory this Lent as we seek new ways to serve our Lord. The last few pages of the tool offer suggestions of ministries that correspond to specific gift areas. This information will be helpful as you speak to the various ministry leaders at the Ministry Fair.
Dates and times for the Ministry Fair in the PAC are:
Saturday, March 4th from 4:00 to 5:00 PM
Sunday, March 5th for one hour after each of the morning Masses to conclude by 1:45 PM.
As always, thank you for being part of the St Vincent de Paul community of faith. Your ministry to others is such a blessing to our parish family.
Sincerely,
Deacon Mark
