St. Vincent de Paul Church

Join us for a Mass of Welcome and Love on Sunday, February 16, at 10 AM. Let us gather in a spirit of hospitality, inclusion, and celebration.

Sponsored by St. Vincent’s ALIVE Ministry, this special liturgy honors the presence, gifts, and dignity of our LGBTQ+ sisters, brothers, and siblings in faith. Together, we affirm the dignity, diversity, and beauty of each person as a beloved member of God’s family.

Whether you are a longtime parishioner, a visitor, or searching for a place of belonging, we invite you to share in this Eucharistic celebration of love, faith, and welcome.

We encourage you to invite family, friends and acquaintances to join us.  For more information, please email us at alivestvchurch@gmail.com.

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.
