THE CATHOLIC COMMUNITY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL COBLESKILL, NY
Summer parish office hours have begun. The office will be open Mondays through Wednesdays, 9 am to 2 pm. The church will open for the Vigil Mass on Saturdays at 3:15 pm.
No one may be ready to think about school yet, but now that the 4th of July is over, Walmart is sure to put out school supplies soon! Like last year, we are part-nering with Community Maternity Services to get school supplies to kids who need them. Please put your donations of new items in the container by the entrance to church, or drop off at the parish office during office hours. All donations need to be received by August 16th so they can be distributed before school starts. A list of needed school supplies follows. Thank you for your generosity!

On the weekend of August 4-5, Father Martin Lowery, a Maryknoll missioner with experience in Korea, will speak at Mass and give parishioners an opportunity to take part in the vital work of bringing Christ’s name and message to all people. Maryknoll is the Catholic Foreign Mission Society of America. Maryknollers share the Gospel not in word alone, but in practical and concrete actions - feeding the hungry, clothing the naked, sheltering the homeless, and comforting the oppressed.
While here, Fr. Lowery will be happy to talk with any parishioners who may be interested in doing overseas mission work as a Maryknoll priest, sister, brother, or lay missioner.
