For more than 35 years Saint Vincents has had the Giving Tree during the Christmas season. Now Saint Vincent's is in need of new volunteers to work on this project since Claire Konopka is stepping down as chairperson of this event. If anyone is interested in taking on this worthwhile project, please leave your name at the rectory. Thank you for supporting this Ministry each year and I pray that this ministry continues for another 35 years. --Claire Konopka
Our Fall Home Goods Sale two weeks ago had a huge turnout! I would like to thank all the parishioners, friends of Saint Vincent's, families from the community and surrounding Hudson County for making this sale a success. Thank you to Father Alfie and his team for rolling up their sleeves on Friday and working with us, and Maria and her daughter. Also, my Gracie Gal Joan McGinn. Thank you to Maryann and Vincent Angrosina, Ralph and Kim Spiniello, Jocelyn Marte, Eileen D’Alessio, Zofia, & Rita Cortese Valentino, for their tireless volunteer efforts, Friday thru Sunday. I would be remiss, if I did not thank Rose Finnegan, for transitioning the CCD students from Robinson Hall to the Church. Greatly appreciated. Thanks to our new Custodian Teddy, for helping with the table setup, and Zophia for keeping us on our toes with her homemade baked goods, and Kim’s Brownies. Absolutely delicious! Thank you to Tom D'Alessio for working in the shadows. He always manages to make it all come together. Let’s not forget Vincent Angrosina for supervising “Layaway”, and the kickoff selling of our 50/50 raffle tickets. Most and foremost, Saint Vincent’s friend Ken Poesl. Many thanks to you all.
On October 8, our parish celebrated the installation of our newly appointed Rosary Society Officers! Join us in Congratulating Maryann Angrosina, Eileen D’Allesio, Kim Spiniello, and Celeste Tomate on their newly appointed positions! The Rosary Society meets on the 2nd Sunday of every month directly after the 10:00 am mass. All are welcome.
Stewardship Reflections 30th Sunday in Ordinary Time “You shall love the Lord, your God, with all your heart, with all your soul, and with all your mind.” – Matthew 22:37 Do you put other “gods” before God? Is your love of money, power, status, comfort or some personal possession greater than your love for God? Do you recognize that everything you have and that everything you are is a gift from God? Putting God first in everything helps keep us from becoming a slave to our possessions and to our pride.
