| Welcome |
 |
Welcome to St. Vincent de Paul Parish which serves the Lincoln Park neighborhood.
When first established, our Church was on the fringe of the city,
but for more than 125 years both Chicago and our parish have grown tremendously.
However our mission has remained the same for all these years:
--- To share the Word of the Lord;
--- To strive for holiness in our daily lives;
--- To hear the call of Jesus to love God and neighbor;
As St. Vincent de Paul said --
"We must love our neighbor as being made in the
image of God and as an object of His love."
In the spirit of St. Vincent and with open hands,
welcome all to our Parish family.
Please feel free to email me at
crobinso@depaul.edu
about any concerns or questions you may have.
Rev. Christopher Robinson, C.M. – Pastor
