ALTAR ROSARY SOCIETY
The society is open to all women of the parish and exists to promote devotion to the Holy Rosary and to maintain care for the church altar as well as to enrich the spirituality of its members and that of the parish community it serves.
The Altar Rosary group hosts many parish functions, including bake sales, annual spaghetti dinner, Valentine’s Day brunch and Lenten poverty supper. The funds raised are returned to help defray cost of the operation of the church and/or neighboring charitable organizations.

ST. ANNE’S DEVOTION
Devotion to St. Anne began early in the history of the Catholic Church. As she was favored by God to become the mother of the holy Virgin Mary, she is often invoked as the Patron of mothers as well as for relationships, among other things. Although Saint Anne is not mentioned in the Bible, she is the holy mother of Mary and grandmother of Jesus. When we pray the St. Anne Novena, we are asking help from our Blessed Mother’s mother! Saint Anne’s feast day is on July 26.
The Novena to St. Anne at St. Vincent De Paul started about 90 years ago and it has drawn many people to nurture their spirituality in Christ. It is celebrated for three days around July 26 with celebrations of holy masses, confessions, anointing of sick and the procession of St. Ann’s statue. Speakers are invited to spiritually feed the attendees and many people attend it locally and out of town.
