The Church is in a historic moment.
Paragraph 60 of the Synod’s Final Document – now magisterial teaching – calls the whole Church to recognize women’s equal baptismal dignity, to fully implement the leadership roles already open to women under canon law, and to give women’s voices and contributions greater place in the life of the Church.
What does this new teaching actually say? What is the Vatican doing to implement it? And how can ordinary Catholics take part in this synodal chapter of our Church’s life?
Join us for a lively, hope-filled, and interactive conversation about this new teaching and what it means for our community…
As we approach the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul on September 27, and the close of our fiscal year, the St. John-St. Paul SVdP Conference would like to thank you for your vital support. Our mission to serve those in need is made possible through your financial contributions, your donations of clothes and other items (including appliances and bikes), and your volunteer assistance with deliveries, moves, and labor.
Over the past year, your generosity enabled us to provide $40,000 in direct assistance to 47 families (impacting 117 people.) Additionally, we connected many neighbors with partner organizations for support with food, housing, auto repairs, and household items. The level of assistance provided, as well as the number of friends helped, have both grown significantly over the past two years, a trend we expect to continue.
Dube Travel, the agency coordinating our pilgrimage, is hosting an important webinar specifically for SJSP families (teens and parents are encouraged to participate!) on Tuesday, September 22 to talk about our planned itinerary and trip details.
This will be a great opportunity to learn more and ask questions about this incredible opportunity to deepen your faith and connect with youth from around the world.
(The webinar will be recorded so even if you can’t make it at the scheduled time, please register to automatically receive the recording link.)

Please join us for our annual Collaborative Outdoor Mass and Fellowship event! This will be our fourth time celebrating Mass on the expansive lawn in front of St. Paul Church, recreating what Fr. Jim calls “our own Tanglewood East!” Please bring lawn chairs/blankets for seating.
Our SJSP Society of St. Vincent de Paul chapter is once again sponsoring a cookout after Mass, providing hotdogs, hamburgers, and veggie burgers for all – bring a side dish/dessert to share if you are able!
So that as many members of our community as possible can join together for this special liturgy and fellowship event, there will be a reduced Mass schedule at the parishes on the weekend of September 26-27…
