"The Christian faithful are those who, inasmuch as they have been incorporated in Christ through Baptism, have been constituted as the people of God; for this reason, since they have become sharers in Christ's priestly, prophetic, and royal office in their own manner, they are called to exercise the mission which God has entrusted to the Church to fulfill in the world, in accord with the condition proper to each one."
-Catechism of the Catholic Church, paragraph #871

St. Vincent de Paul Society
The call to serve the poor and those who are in need among us is truly heard and answered by the committed members of our Society here at Our Lady of the Rosary parish.

The Society is always seeking new members to assist in home visits to the poor, involvement in community service projects, participation in service planning meetings, and other creative ways to carry the mission of St. Vincent de Paul to the lives of needy people.
