A MESSAGE FROM OUR PRIEST

Fr Joti Bilowalu CM

Welcome to St. Vincents Parish. The Parish of St Vincent de Paul was established in 1894 under the pastoral care of the Congregation of the Mission, known as The Vincentian Priests and Brothers. St Vincent is a multicultural parish with parishioners from over 70 countries. Together the community worships God and experiences the joys of belonging to God’s family.

“Welcome joyfully every opportunity to be of service”

 
 

Dear St Vincent,
I turn to you today, 

asking for your prayers and guidance. 

Be with me, and with our parish and schools, especially those who are sick, 
lonely, or struggling.

Please teach me to serve 
others with love and humility, 
to bring comfort where there is pain, 
hope where there is despair, 
and joy where hearts feel heavy.

May your deep love for God inspire me,
 and may your spirit of mercy 
guide all that I do. Help me to show God’s love through 
my words, my hands, and my heart.

St Vincent, walk with me,
 that I may live with faith, courage, 
compassion, and hope.

With gratitude and trust, 
Amen.

St Vincent’s Parish - Ashfield
