CALL FOR PHOTOS!
For all of you who have been wondering how you can help save St. Vincent de Paul now is your chance. We are creating another video with a positive message in support of our church. Please make a simple sign of your choice, see example photo above. Your sign can say anything in support of St. Vincent's. Please include the name St. Vincent de Paul with any other message you'd like to add.
Examples include: member for 10 years, married here, my spiritual home, faith, hope, met my wife here at my best friend's wedding, graduated 1935 or anything else you like.
As you may know our leadership has claimed that only a small number of parishioners are not in favor of selling the church. This is our response to that misrepresentation. Our Bishop needs the truth.
So please get some paper, a marker and a digital camera. The more photos the better. Please email photos to: choward3@stny.rr.com before December 1st.
Faith built St. Vincent's Church, have faith that we can save it!
How was Dessert and Dialogue? Any dialogue?
ReplyDeleteYes, there was a lot of dialogue between parishioners and DD.
ReplyDeleteThe pictures are a great way to create a memorial to the church!
ReplyDeleteThere was dialogue. Actual conversation took place because very few of those who attended use 3x5 cards! When the questions got to difficult though it ended. I'm guessing by the numbers and the questions that may not be too many more desserts to attend. Of course all of the council and staff were required to attend. This is my first such event and the SOP members did a great job of trying to pull necessary information from the leadership. Leadership continued to do its best at dancing around the subject matter.
