at St. Vincent de Paul The Mass for the Fifteenth Sunday of Ordinary Time, July 12th, is available. It is pre-recorded, and, although not live stream, is available at any time. The parish will continue to stream Sunday and Holyday Masses, even as the celebration of public Mass resumes.
"Returning to Mass" Videos The Archdiocese released several videos to instruct the faithful as we resume public Masses. Click here to view the "Returning to Mass" video. Click here to view the Open Doors video with a "Welcome Home" from our Archbishop. The weekend Mass schedule had to be modified to allow enough time between the Masses for sanitizing:
7:30 A.M., 10:30 A.M. and 6:00 P.M. Sunday Masses Monday through Friday
6:30 A.M. in the Chapel
Saturday at 8:00 A.M. in the Church Face masks must be worn by all attending Mass, and social distance must be maintained while seated and while processing in and out of Church and to and from Communion. After each Mass the Church (or Chapel) must be sanitized.
In the Church's view, the family is the domestic Church, so Father McLaughlin has suggested that during this crisis when attendance at Sunday Mass is not an option, the head of the family leads the entire family in prayer each Sunday. A resource has been developed to provide a ritual by which families, "the domestic church," can keep the Lord's day holy by joining together to celebrate part of the Church's liturgy at home. Ideally, the head of the family will lead the service; other members of the family should take on roles as readers. Each ritual for home is for a specific Sunday or holyday; it includes the Readings used at Mass and thus unites the family with the Masses that are being celebrated throughout the world. It could also be used in following the Liturgy of the Word in a televised or live stream Mass.

Food Collections Continue Since we cannot achieve "hands free" transferral of non-perishable food for the Jesus Focus Ministry Food Bank on People to People Sunday, the first and third Sundays of the month, the in-parish collection of these goods continues to be suspended. However, the need still exists — actually, it is greater because many have lost their jobs. Parishioners are encouraged to deliver food directly to the food bank at 1030 2nd Street Pike, Southampton, PA (215-953-2000). As you drive into the Bethanna Complex, you will see the shed in the above picture. Place the food in the shed if no staff are present; staff are present from 9:00 A.M. to 11:30 A.M. and will assist — you simply put your delivery on a cart. The need is for nonperishable food and canned goods, especially those high in protein, as well as personal hygiene products. Get Google Maps directions to the Jesus Focus Food Bank:

The Meals for the Homeless program continues. Frozen casseroles are collected monthly to be used by St. John's Hospice ministry to the homeless in central Philadelphia. The next collection is Sunday and Monday, July 19th and 20th. They are dropped off at 20 Worthington Mill Road The staff at St. John's Hospice have told us they are preparing trays for take-out.
