Welcome to St. Vincent de Paul Parish.

After much prayer, thought, and consultation, we have stopped the live streaming of Sunday Masses.  Our Mass celebration reaches its summit at the celebration of the Eucharist and our receiving of Jesus fully and completely in his Body and Blood.  We greatly desire all of us to gather together and walk towards the Altar of the Lord every Sunday.  If you cannot gather due to health issues, please see the link below to gather for the daily and Sunday mass from the Cathedral of Mary of the Assumption in Saginaw.  In addition, please call the parish office so we can make arrangements for you to receive the Blessed Sacrament and keep you up to date with parish information.

Here is a great, brief post to remind you of two things. This clip comes from Steve Angrisano’s keynote at NCYC this past year. As we go forward on our pilgrimage of 33 Days to Eucharistic Glory (begun yesterday), let Jesus consume you.

Also, remember to set aside September 27, 2026 for our 50th Anniversary of the Dedication of St. Vincent de Paul Church and the evenings of September 28 & 29 for our Parish Mission with Steve Angrisano.

National Catholic Youth Conference (NCYC)

The Eucharist isn’t just a ritual — it’s Jesus consuming you, healing and transforming you from the inside out. He enters the cracks of our lives and heals them, making us more like Him every time. We only need to be open to Him.

On Saturday night during the 2025 NCYC, Steve Angrisano led us in a powerful keynote on the Eucharist.

I Heard it in the Homily

There are three people in scripture today we can all identify with. When Isaiah is in the Temple of the Lord, the Seraphim in the sky is singing. Isaiah says, “woe is me.” He recognizes his sinfulness, so God sends an angel who purifies Isaiah. God asks “who will go proclaim the good news?” Isaiah has the courage to go do God‘s work. “Here I am lord!”

Paul, least of all the apostles, says “now I am who I am because of the grace of God.” Paul recognized that everything he is able to do comes from God.

There are 7 non-negotiables on our way to Jesus. This is a spiritual roadmap to Jesus; how we get from this life to eternal life. It is a lifetime worth of work.

In our lives, we are all unworthy, inadequate, limited, sinners. There are times we fail God. We are not living up to who God wants us to be. We are not noticing God in our lives. God tells us not to feel like a failure. He is with us. He has not given up on us. He says “I still want to use you to build my kingdom on earth. I want you to use the gifts you have been given to help those in need. You will be renewed and strengthened.”

The Lord says, “Do not be afraid, for I am with you to help you do my holy will and work.”
