Did You Kn ow?

Achieving our first two campaign goals will allow the parish to retire

our Education Center and land purchase loans. This frees up

nearly $280,000 in annual debt payments and can be used to

support our ministries.

In just two weeks, the Generosity for Generations Capital

Campaign will officially begin!

Please make plans to join in our Kickoff Weekend celebration on September 24-25.

Attend Mass and join fellow parishioners as we celebrate our tradition of vibrant faith and generous stewardship.

Special thanks to the 87 families who have graciously offered to be a part of the campaign volunteer team. They are in the process of being trained and have already begun making their pledges to the campaign.

If you missed the first three installments of the Frequently Asked Questions series, please visit saintvdp.org/campaign or visit the parish office for a copy. The last installment of the series will be published on September 17-18, and will cover ways that you can structure your pledge.

ATTENTION MOMS!

Come join Moms Morning Out (MMO) for coffee, fellowship, and learning

about parenting and faith!

Our first meeting of the year will be Tuesday, Sept. 20, from 9:30 - 11:00 AM,

in the West Meeting Room. We meet the third Tuesday of each month, and

free childcare is available at the meetings. There are no requirements for participation, so please join us when you can! You are welcome to bring friends --

they do not need to be St. Vincent's parishioners. For more information,

please contact Lila or Nicki at [email protected]

or 312-965-0177.

PRAYER VIGIL AT THE ROBBINS-

DALE ABORTION FACILITY

The SVDP Knights, Council 9139, will again lead and coordinate our annual prayer vigil on Saturday, October 15, from 6 AM to 4 PM at the Robbinsdale Clinic P.A., located at 3819 West Broadway, Robbinsdale MN, 55422. In 2015 the clinic performed 1,039 abortions - in our backyard! The clinic is the third largest provider of abortions in the state of Minnesota.

The 10 hours will be broken into five 2 hour prayer vigils. Two hours of your prayers may save a life of a child. We are holding the vigil in support of the "40 Days for Life" international effort that has had great success in reducing the number of abortions, closing abortion facilities across the United States and encouraging employees to find alternate work. 40 Days for Life’s focus is the Planned Parenthood building in St. Paul.

With God's blessings, SVDP experienced a baby save during our 2015 prayer vigil. Also, our efforts helped to close the abortion center at Regions Hospital located in St. Paul, MN. Put the date on your calendar; your support is needed. Questions? Contact Duane Crosland ([email protected]) or Mark Bergeron ([email protected]).

DO YOU SING OR

PLAY AN INSTRUMENT?

The SVDP music ministry has many choirs and ensem-bles that are looking for new members. Come and share your musical talents. Check

out the music ministry webpage

on our website or contact [email protected]

WOMEN OF FAITH GROUP BEGINS THIS THURSDAY

Step deeper into your faith with a core group of women where you can grow together in your spirituality. This is a nine week session where we will be discussing the book Blessed Are You: Finding Inspiration from Our Sisters in Faith by Melanie Rigney who uses stories of the saints, our sisters in faith, to help readers grow in their spiritual lives. The lives of each of these women illustrate the qualities of the Beatitudes in a down-to-earth and human way which will help women find ways to live more fully the Christian life.

We will be meeting Thursdays, from 7:15-8:45 PM, Sept. 15 to Nov. 17 (with no meeting on Oct. 20), in the West Meeting Room. This group is open to all women who want to deepen their relationship with God. Space is limited to the first 12 women that respond.

Cost of the book is $15 which will be due at the first meet-ing. If you are interested in

joining, please contact Suzanne Crane at

[email protected] or call 612-730-5006. Sorry, there is

no child care available.

The RCIA (Rite of Christian Initiation of Adults) offer an opportunity to come together in a small group to learn about the Catholic Faith.

KNIGHTS OF COLUMBUS ANNUAL ADORATION VIGIL

Friday, October 7: All parishioners are invited to sign up to give one special hour of prayer and adoration with the Blessed Sacrament in the SVDP chapel for the related causes of sacramental marriage, religious freedom and protection of human life from conception to natural death. Adorers are needed for each one hour period from 12 AM, Friday, October 7 to 12 AM October 8. Our nation and world continue to face many challenges in these areas. Your prayers do make a difference.

JUSTFAITH PROGRAM SESSIONS BEGIN OCTOBER 3

The JustFaith modules nicknamed JustMatters have provided our parishioners with a clear and planned way to discuss, learn, and build community as we study issues of our times. One of the goals is to invite us to consider engaging in a productive action in relation to the focus issue of any particular module.

The JustMatters modules range from six to eight weeks of 2 ½-hour sessions. All sessions include prayer, dialogue, active listening, and relationship-building. Some sessions may include DVDs and/or guest speakers.

The next 8-week (every Monday night) session titled “The Sultan and the Saint” begins on Monday, October 3 at 6:30 PM.

This eight-session JustMatters module brings Muslims and Christians together in dialogue. It aims to cultivate mutual understanding and appreciation of what these faith traditions hold in common, as well as the ways in which they differ. By nurturing relationships across religious boundaries, participants will model interfaith cooperation as they live out a central tenet of both faiths: to love God and to love our neighbor.

For registration and/or more information, contact Okey Anyanwu in the parish office: 763-762-7417; Email: [email protected]

Thank you for your generosity!

We can hear God speaking to us today in the words of the father to his elder son:

"You are with me always, and everything I have is yours." What is my response to such remarkable generosity? Do I give joyfully

and generously as God gives to me?
