Pulpit Announcements

We are getting more and more requests to have pulpit announcements read at Mass. We don’t want to hold people at the Mass to repeat information already in the bulletin. The purpose of a pulpit announcement is to give a short reminder of an event that will be held within the next week. It should be “short and sweet”.

***************

Anuncios del Púlpito

Estamos recibiendo más y más solicitudes para que se lean los anuncios en el púlpito en la misa. No queremos que las personas en la Misa repitan información que se encuentra en el boletín. El propósito de un anuncio en el púlpito es dar un breve recordatorio de un evento que se llevará a cabo dentro de la próxima semana. Debe ser "corto y dulce"

SAINT VINCENT FERRER (1350 – 1419)

Patron Saint of Builders Feast Day – April 5th

In the year 1374, St Vincent entered the Order of St. Dominic in a monastery near his native city, Valencia in Spain. Soon after his profession he was commissioned to deliver lectures on philosophy. On being sent to Barcelona, he continued his scholastic duties and at the same time devoted himself to preaching. In 1390 Vincent was obliged to accompany Cardinal Pedro de Luna to France, but he soon returned

home. When in 1394 de Luna himself had become Pope at Avignon he summoned St. Vincent and made him master of the sacred palace. In this capacity, St. Vincent made unsuccessful efforts to put an end to the great schism. He refused all ecclesiastical dignities, even the cardinal’s hat, and only craved to be appointed an apostolic missionary. Now began those labors that made him the famous missionary of the 14th century. He evangelized nearly every province of Spain, Italy, Germany, Flanders, England, Scotland, and Ireland. Numerous conversions followed his preaching, which God Himself assisted by the gift of miracles. Though the Church was then divided by the great schism, the Saint was honorably received in the districts subject to the two claimants to the Papacy. He was even invited to Mohammedan Granada, where he preached the Gospel with much success. He lived to behold the end of the great schism and the election of Pope Martin V. Finally, crowned with labors, he died April 5, 1419 and was canonized in 1455.
