Habemus Papam! Pope Leo XIV

Welcome to

St. Vincent de Paul Parish

The Parish of St. Vincent de Paul stands as the direct descendant of numerous, albeit frequently disrupted, missionary efforts in the Niagara region dating back to 1626. It serves as a testament to early Canadian church architecture and is distinguished as the oldest Catholic Church in continuous use for regular worship in Ontario. more

Prayer for Pope Leo XIV

O God, who in your providential design willed that your Church be built upon blessed Peter, whom you set over the other Apostles, look with favour, we pray, on Leo XIV our Pope, and grant that he, whom you have made Peter's successor, may be for your people a visible source and foundation of unity in faith and of communion.

Amen.

Mass Intentions

Mass Intentions

To request for a Mass to be celebrated for a living or deceased loved one, particularly if a Mass card is needed, please visit us in person during normal parish office hours. An offering of $10 is suggested for each Mass intention. You may choose to leave the date of the Mass open or select a specific date.

NOTE: To ensure availability for specific dates, such as birthdays or anniversaries, it is advisable to submit requests several months in advance. This helps to avoid disappointment and is dependent on the availability of a priest.
