In accordance with the guidelines set forth by the State of Pennsylvania and the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, St. Vincent's has resumed public celebration of the Mass with the following guidelines:
Live-streamed Masses will continue permanently on Sundays at 9AM (English-language) and 12PM (Spanish-language/en Español) as well as Wednesdays at 7:45AM (English-language)
Anyone in a vulnerable population, with a compromised immune system, feeling ill, or otherwise vulnerable is advised to please stay home and watch the live-streamed Mass. The faithful are dispensed from the obligation to attend Mass on Sundays and Holy Days.
De acuerdo con las pautas establecidas por el estado de Pensilvania y la Arquidiócesis de Filadelfia, San Vicente ha reanudado la celebración pública de la Misa con las siguientes restricciones:
Las misas transmitidas en vivo continuarán permanentemente los domingos a las 9 a.m. (En Inglés) y a las 12 p.m. (En Español), así como los miércoles a las 7:45 a.m. (En Inglés)
Por favor, se le pide a las personas que sean más vulnerables, con un sistema inmunológico de cuidado o que se sientan enfermos, les recomendamos que se queden en casa y participen de la Misa Virtual transmitida en vivo. Todas las personas especialmente en los casos mencionados, tienen la dispensa del Arzobispo de estar ausentes de las Misas públicas los domingos y días de Precepto.
Como muchos de ustedes saben, todos los domingos a las 12:00 del día el Padre Jack Timlin celebra la Eucaristía en español en nuestro templo de San Vicente de Paul, con la ayuda de músicos, lectores y transmisores en vivo y virtualmente a través de Facebook y el sitio de nuestra iglesia en la Red (Internet).
Tenemos una lista de asistentes, en presencia y desde sus hogares, a quienes les mandamos recordatorios cada sábado, junto con los cantos del día. Si ustedes han venido a la Misa, pero no están en nuestra lista, por favor envíen sus nombres y correos electrónicos a:

Face to Face is currently offering to-go meals, fresh produce, and non-perishable supplies in individual bags and family boxes to anyone in need. These are distributed in the large parking lot next to our building.
Our distribution schedule is Mondays, Thursdays, and Fridays from noon (12pm) to 2pm. Individuals can line up (properly spaced out) in front of our building on the sidewalk and we we have just one group of people come into the lot to collect items at a time to help keep everyone safe. Mondays we hand out non-perishable bags as well as a hot meal and on Fridays we also distribute toiletry kits with soap and other items.
We are asking that folks who come to collect food share their name, household size, and a phone number where we can reach them so that our staff can call and check in on them and see if there is anything else we can do to help.
We are also still offering our Legal and Social Services over the phone.

September 1 (World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation) - October 4, (Feast of St. Francis of Assisi, the patron saint of ecology)
Just months after publishing his 2015 encyclical "Laudato Si', on Care for Our Common Home," Pope Francis formally added the World Day of Prayer for the Care of Creation to the Catholic calendar as an annual day of prayer. Last year he invited Catholics to celebrate the full season.
"Now is the time to rediscover our vocation as children of God, brothers and sisters, and stewards of creation. Now is the time to repent, to be converted and to return to our roots," he wrote in a letter. "We are beloved creatures of God, who in his goodness calls us to love life and live it in communion with the rest of creation. For this reason, I strongly encourage the faithful to pray in these days that, as the result of a timely ecumenical initiative, are being celebrated as a Season of Creation."
This year is the 5th Anniversary of Laudato Si' & the 50th Anniversary of Earth Day.
It's a time to reflect on our relationship with the environment — not just "distant" nature, but, crucially, the place where we live — and the ways in which our lifestyles and decisions as a society can endanger both the natural world and those inhabiting it, both humans and other creatures.
It's a time of prayer, contemplation and, increasingly, calls to action.
John Gabriel Perboyre, C.M., was a French priest, who served as a missionary in Wuhan (Hubei Province, the origin of the current pandemic) China, where he became a martyr. He was canonized in 1996 by Pope John Paul II.
At this time we can call on his intercession. We will be displaying his picture during this current pandemic.
