The idea for the confraternity was first proposed in 1470 by Blessed Alan, a Dominican Friar, who had a deep devotion to the Rosary. The Rosarians form a great army of spiritual apostles under the banner of Mary. They join in prayer that is continuous praise, devotion and intercession to Mary, Queen of the Most Holy Rosary. St. Vincent de Paul Society Our St. Vincent de Paul society actively contributes to the life of our parish. Those who are in need are ministered to in a variety of ways.
Many families receive bags of food each week and financial assistance in emergency situations.
Resources for St. Vincent de Paul come from several sources. People contribute food, clothing and items of furniture. Memorials for the deceased bring financial support. Many Generous parishioners staff and organize our Thrift Shop where items of clothing and furniture are sold at extremely reasonable prices. The proceeds from this shop help to buy food for those in need.
