 more 

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

Embark on a pilgrimage with Fr. Peter to explore the Catholic and cultural heritage sites in the North of France, Benelux, and Germany, scheduled from May 12 to May 23, 2025.

This pilgrimage echoes Pope Francis' recent journey to Belgium and Luxembourg, while also recalling St. John Paul's visit to the Benelux countries four decades ago.

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.

Parish Bicentennial

The Heritage Council has initiated detailed planning for the 2026 bicentennial celebration of our Parish, particularly for September 27 and the preceding days. Six subcommittees have been established to oversee the preparations.

  • Call to Action

    As we prepare for our Parish Bicentennial celebration in 2026, the History and Memorabilia Subcommittee is seeking individuals with information or artifacts to help update our parish history, particularly for the period after 1960. Please contact the Parish Office at (905) 468-7272 or email historysc@svdpparishnotl.ca.

    Your contributions will be invaluable in preserving the heritage of our faith community.

Announcements

  • Week of Prayer for Christian Unity

    The Week of Prayer for Christian Unity has begun and the theme for this year is "Do you believe this?" (from the Gospel of John); further helps for prayerfully experiencing this week are contained in the bulletin.

  • Alpha - In a Catholic Context

    At last Sunday's morning Masses, we heard Nick Ali introduce us to Alpha, a highly effective parish program that we would like to pilot here as part of our Jubilee Year journey together -- more information is in the bulletin, but we're starting to collect names of participants: jot your name and contact info on a slip of paper and hand it to the parish office or directly to Fr. Peter.

  • Livestreamers Needed

    We are looking for dedicated volunteers to assist with livestreaming one or two of our weekend Masses. Your support will ensure that parishioners who cannot be physically present at the church can still participate in our Liturgical services. A laptop required, and training on the use of the livestreaming equipment will be provided. If you are interested in volunteering, please email livestream@svdpparishnotl.ca or sign up at the Parish Office.
