St. Vincent de Paul Church

Dear community of Baltimore and beyond,
We continue in active worship and service. Let us give glory to God in word and deed, as we gather as Christ’s disciples.

Join us: Saturdays at 6 PM for a quieter, more contemplative Mass; Sundays at 10 AM for a larger gathering with choir; and Mon-Thurs at 12 PM for a lunch-hour liturgy.

There is much that may trouble us in world & Church – and much for which to be grateful.
Don’t stay away! Your sisters & brothers hope to see you soon at “St. V” Peace be with you.

This beautiful votive candle-holder was made by young artisans at the South Baltimore Community Land Trust, which organization works for development without displacement. In our prayer alcove, the parish keeps this perpetual light beside the names of those who have been murdered in Baltimore City. St. Vincent’s, through the efforts of our Racial Equity Group, provides support for the SBCLT.

The parishioners of St. Vincent’s share a deep concern over the crises of abuse and lack of accountability in the Church, and the culture that contributed to this terrible situation. Committed to healing, justice, and peace, we call for, and work towards, the ecclesial and social change we so greatly need. The parish Committee for Church Reform works to help to create and sustain meaningful change in the power dynamics and the structure of the Church and the restoration and healing necessary due to the sexual abuse of children by priests and its cover-up.
