A Joyful Evening of Fellowship and Gratitude
# # # A Joyful Celebration of St. Vincent de Paul and Fellowship
Our parish family joyfully celebrated the **Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, our parish patron**, with a beautiful weekend of prayer, fellowship, and gratitude. The celebration continued with our International Potluck and Farewell for **Fr. Joselito “Fr. Lito” Hitosis, SSS**, bringing parishioners from many cultures together as one family in Christ. Through shared food, laughter, stories, and friendship, we experienced the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul—faith expressed through love, generosity, and service.
With grateful hearts, we also thanked Fr. Lito for his three years of faithful service to St. Vincent de Paul Parish and the Diocese of Saint Petersburg. As he returns to the Philippines Province of the Congregation of the Blessed Sacrament for his new assignment, we send him with our prayers, love, and deepest gratitude. **Thank you, Fr. Lito, for being part of our parish family. You will be greatly missed and always remembered in our prayers!**
