Attention Parents
Please accompany your children, 12 and under, to the restroom during Sunday Masses. We have found large amounts of unused paper in the toilets that have caused them to clog and overflow. This causes a dangerous and inconvenient situation for fellow parishioners that wish to use the restroom.
Atención padres
Por favor, acompañe a sus hijos al baño, menores de 12 años, durante las misa del domingo. Hemos encontrado grandes cantidades de papel higiénico sin usar en los inodoros que han causado un desbordamiento de los inodoros. Cuando los inodoros se desbordan, los baños se inundan causando una situación peligrosa e inconveniente para los feligreses que desean usar el baño.
MUSIC MINISTRY CANTORS WANTED
If you interested in being a cantor at Sunday Masses and have a gift of singing and are able to read music please contact Armen Hareyan, Music Director, at 828747-6404.
ADORATION
Adoration will be held every Friday in the Holy Family Chapel. Please use the SignUpGenius to block out your hour.
Faith Direct Donors
We would like to thank all our Faith Direct donors for their generous gifts in 2021. Faith Direct should be sending their tax acknowledgment letters at the end of the month of January. Again, thank you for your continued support of our parish family. If you are interested in giving electronically, you can set up a recurring donation or make a one-time gift. Sign up today by visiting www.faithdirect.net (NC128) and please be sure to request the "Mass attendance cards" so you can drop them off every time you come to Mass.
MACS Information
Earlier this year families with children attending schools in the MACS system should have received a letter outlining the prerequisites to be considered a participating member of St. Vincent de Paul Parish. In order to be considered a participating family moving forward each MACS family MUST sign and return the agreement letter to the Parish Office. If your family has children attending MACS schools and have not either received or returned the signed agreement back to the parish please do so at your earliest convenience. There are copies of the agreement letter in the Parish Office for you to sign or you may contact Lorena at 704-644-4653 or Carmen at 704-644- 4661, for further assistance.

Columbarium Nameplates
The parish is working on re-inking some nameplates on the columbarium that have faded with time. Please don’t be alarmed if you don’t see your loved one’s nameplate.
Volunteers needed for Altar Ministry
We are in urgent need of two more people to work on Team 2, which meets on Thursday after 9 o’clock Mass once every six weeks. Many of those on the Friday Teams have served for twenty years or more so it would be wonderful to have younger volunteers step forward to help in this worthy ministry. Please call Sharon Ginty, at 704-553-2679 if you can help or have questions.
Preschool
Our parish preschool has limited openings for 2- and 4-year-old children for Fall 2021. The Preschool curriculum is play-based and is centered around weekly and seasonal themes. Our Catholic faith is incorporated into the program through stories, activities, crafts, and visits to the Church and Chapel. Tours may be scheduled during summer office hours, Monday-Thursday, 9:00 am-2:00 pm. For more information or to schedule a tour, please call Mary Helen or Sonya at (704)644-4656 or email mhcushing@charlottediocese.org.
