"In order to become soundly virtuous, it is advisable to make good practical resolutions concerning particular acts of the virtues and to be faithful in carrying them out afterwards.
Without doing that, one is often virtuous only in one’s imagination."
-St. Vincent de paul

"Para volverse sanamente virtuoso, es aconsejable hacer buenas resoluciones prácticas en cuanto a los actos particulares de las virtudes y ser fiel en realizarlos después.
Sin hacer eso, uno es a menudo virtuoso solo en su imaginación."
-San Vicente de paúl

to our Annual Meeting held at the St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church. We had over 300 Vincentians in attendance who gathered in communion and to celebrate our achievements.

Some of the highlights of the day included the St. Francis drum line leading Vincentians from Mass to the school hall for the meeting. This set an energetic tone for the day’s events to follow.

Guests were asked to bring a memento or photo of their first communion to share and reflect at their table. Everyone enjoyed this and we even heard Vincentians say that they loved the spirituality of that reflection and sharing, as well as being at “home” at St. Vincent de Paul Church.

It was a beautiful day and we send blessings to all that attended. A special thank you to our sponsors, CHP (Sargent Rubio and Officer Gomez), Casa Milagrosa, and Circle V Ranch Camp.

Mary was in the upper room with the apostles.
She kept silence while awaiting the descent of the Spirit.”
– St. Catherine Labouré

María se encontraba en la habitación con los apóstoles.
Ella guardaba silencio esperando la venida del Espíritu.”
