Una Voce... With One Voice Welcome Friends St. Vincent Pallotti's dream was to enable lay people to assume their proper role in the mission of the Church and to establish a community to translate his vision into reality. The Pallottines were founded to remind the Church that lay people are essential members and that , together with clergy and those in consecrated life, we are all sent as apostles of the Church and the World. To this end, our parishoners join with One Voice to save our vibrant and growing parish.

"I can not keep from speaking. I must express my anguish. My bitter soul must complain." JOB 7:11

UPDATE...

The Friends of St. Vincent Pallotti, Inc was formed in order to protect the rights of our parishioners, in response to the April 3rd announcement & administrative act by Bishop Joseph Galante. His announced intention was to merge St.Vincent Pallotti and St. Aloysius, with the worship site at St. Al’s. However, the 15 months of diligent and logical work by the diocese planning groups had recommended (by a vote of 54-2) merging the two parishes, along with Holy Maternity, with the worship site to be at St. Vincent Pallotti.

St. Vincent Pallotti has an 800 seat street level church with over 400 off street parking spaces. It has a recently renovated HVAC system and a new roof. In December of 2007, a new rectory, memorial hall and chapel (that were approved by the bishop) were dedicated. They are all ADA compliant. We are the logical choice for a worship site. We are: newer, bigger, more vibrant, disability friendly, more parking, no zoning issues, and room for growth. In July 2008, the bishop's own ad hoc committee strongly recommended us as the priemier site, vs St Aloysius. Again, the bishop went against the recommendations of planners, and he selected St Aloysius. Confused? Us too!

St. Vincent Pallotti is a vibrant, growing parish with close to 40 active ministries. We welcome parishioners from 3 counties and over 40 zip codes. The participation of our parishioners is way above the diocesan average. If you wish to join our vibrant and friendly congregation, please contact us by clicking the link at the top of the page.
