The Fatima Prayer
O my Jesus, forgive us our sins, save us from the fires of hell,
and lead all souls to heaven, especially those in most need
of Thy mercy. Amen.
Memorare
Remember, O most gracious Virgin Mary, that never was it known that anyone who fled to thy
protection, implored thy help or sought thine intercession was left unaided. Inspired by this
confidence, I fly unto thee, O Virgin of virgins, my mother; to thee do I come, before thee I stand, sinful and
sorrowful. O Mother of the Word Incarnate, despise not my petitions, but in thy mercy hear and answer me.
Amen.
FOR ALL OUR DEARLY BELOVED
DEPARTED
The names of those who have
recently passed from this life to the
next will remain on the bulletin
necrology for nine weeks. They will
then be transferred to the permanent parish
necrology, also known as the Book of the
Dead. Mass Intentions for loved ones after
this time will be printed the week that the
Holy Mass is scheduled.
Lord Jesus, remember especially in loving mercy:
Daniel Bott, Anne Palcak, Carolyn Hegarty,
Marcia Hedegor, Marie Bednar, Esther
Durmire, Bernard Poisson, Robert Donovan,
Charles Helinger, Jr.
and all the departed who have gone before us .

after you have attended the class and turned in the
necessary paperwork: St. Vincent de Paul parish

The 2015 Archbishop’s Annual Appeal 40 Days for Life Spring Campaign Kick-Off
Thank you to all who have responded to the
mailing from Archbishop Gregory. There is still
time to respond. If you received the mailing
and have not responded, please take advantage of
this time to do so. In addition to providing for
ministries and services throughout the
Archdiocese, the Annual Appeal also funds
services that are of great help to ministries here in
our own parish.
This year, the theme of the Appeal is
“All this I do for the sake of the Gospel.”
Our Archbishop has written, “We are called to
reflect the great love of Jesus Christ, that He
would become man and give His life for us,
through all of our daily actions and how we live
our lives.”
Your financial support for the work of our parish,
our Archdiocese, and our Church throughout the
world is, in fact, one way to give Him glory and
express our gratitude.
