Here at St. Vincent, our Dominican friars are blessed to be able to provide frequent opportunities both for Mass and Confession.

This summer, take some time and come to daily Mass once a week, or take the opportunity to experience Christ's mercy through the Sacrament of Reconciliation.

The summer can be a period not only to relax, but to establish those spiritual rhythms and habits which will nourish and sustain you when times are difficult or you find ourselves facing trials.

Jesus gurantees us his presence, his love, and his grace through the Sacraments of the Church, don't miss out on the opportunity to meet him there. Jesus is waiting for you.

“Our Redeemer’s visible presence has passed into the sacraments.” St. Leo the Great, pope

Today for the Solemnity of Corpus Christi, the Church rejoices in the greatest of gifts: Christ’s Real Presence in the Eucharist, offered and given for us and for our salvation.

Here at St. Vincent Ferrer we were blessed to have a Eucharistic Procession out to our Holy Family Courtyard, followed by food and hospitality from our Filipino community.

May the effects of the Eucharist which we adore and receive be realized ever more fully in our lives. May we come to love our Lord more and more each day and to be his love in the world.

It’s hard to call it “work.”

There's not much that our priests here at SVF love more than offering the Sacraments and preaching about Jesus.

Hope to see you this Sunday at Mass!

“If we knew the value of the Holy Sacrifice of the Mass, how much greater effort we would put forth in order to assist at it!”

While restocking the Family Mass Cart before the weekend and Corpus Christi, we found a surprising guest hanging out in the church! Someone left their pet triceratops behind!

Don’t mind him, he’s just hanging out and learning about Jesus and the Eucharist.

Join us at our Sunday 9am Mass for a Eucharistic Procession to the Holy Family Courtyard as we celebrate Corpus Christi, the Solemnity of the Most Holy Body and Blood of Our Lord.

This weekend, the Church celebrates the Solemnity of Corpus Christi ✨

As Catholics, we believe that Jesus is truly present in the Eucharist—not merely as a symbol, but Body, Blood, Soul, and Divinity. The Eucharist is the very heart, the source and summit, of our faith and Christ’s lasting gift to His Church.

Come walk with Jesus this Corpus Christi

What a truly grace-filled day at St. Vincent Ferrer!

We joyfully celebrated Fr. Dominick Jean’s Mass of Thanksgiving and his first Sunday Mass as a Parochial Vicar at St. Vincent Ferrer. Coming on the great feast of Pentecost, the day was filled with joy and the outpouring of the Holy Spirit. Parishioners were thrilled to welcome Fr. Dominick in his new role, and many received their first priestly blessings—a moment of profound grace and gratitude.

Following Mass, we gathered for a reception, sharing in fellowship and celebration together as one parish family. It was truly an amazing day for St. Vincent Ferrer—one we will remember with great joy and thanksgiving. Please continue to keep Fr. Dominick in your prayers as he begins his priestly ministry!
