Letter From Monsignor

Dear St. Vincent de Paul Family,

Gather and Grow is the theme for our capital campaign.

The spiritual meaning of this theme points to the invitation from Jesus to build the kingdom of God. Our parish brings people together to grow in our knowledge, love and service of God. We gather to hear Jesus and receive Him. The gift of Jesus we receive leads us to invite others to the Church, and in this we live the theme of gathering and growing.

Our campaign goals are focused on building new spaces and renovating older areas to fulfill the theme of gathering and growing. The north addition will be an education area used by the entire parish. Children that are in our School and those in our CCD program will gather there to encounter Jesus either during the school day, or in religious education programs. The north addition will have classrooms and a common area. This common area will serve as a multipurpose area for lunch and recreation during school days, leaving the Parish Hall for Church events. The Parish Hall will be renovated along with current rooms that are used as classrooms. These renovated areas will provide meeting rooms, a bride’s room, a family area, a refreshed entrance and gathering area for before and after Mass, activities, and bathrooms that will be easier to find at the entrance of the Church.

St. Vincent de Paul has been blessed and has grown providentially since our inception in 1872. Building on that strong foundation, and with many personal sacrifices, our parish leaders had the vision and faith to relocate our Church and set it on course for a bright and hopeful future.

Now it’s our turn. We are growing St. Vincent de Paul Church and School so we can serve His purpose dutifully, for the next 100 years and beyond. But we can only do this – together.

I encourage you to read through this booklet [campaign information] and learn more about the ways and reasons to join us as we Gather and Grow.

God Bless,

Monsignor Tucker
