“The President General, Brother Renato Lima de Oliveira, of the International St Vincent de Paul Society asked that: “on September 9th, 2020 (Liturgical Feast of Blessed Antoine-Frederic Ozanam), a Holy Mass be celebrated in all the parishes where there is a Vincentian Conference, for all those who died for Covid-19, especially the people we visit, our fellow members, the members of the Vincentian Family and the relatives of our members who also died because of the pandemic.”

We ask that parishioners would remember this in your prayers on September 9^th or at any mass throughout the Diocese.
