From the pastor
Come to the 8 o'clock some weekday. You will meet the whole parish in miniature.
There are retired teachers who have not missed a morning since 1990, nurses on their way to St. Vincent's, a few of our school families, and one gentleman who rides his bicycle from Maumee in all weathers. Mass is about twenty-five minutes. Coffee is in the vestibule afterwards, and someone will ask your name.
If you have just moved to Toledo, or you are coming back to the Church after a long time away, I would be glad to meet you. Fill in the registration form, or simply stop me after any Mass.
Thursday, 9:40 AM
Reggie and Maureen sort the produce delivery from the Toledo Northwestern Ohio Food Bank before the doors open.
St. Vincent de Paul Conference
If you need help with rent, groceries or a utility bill, call us.
Our St. Vincent de Paul conference has served South Toledo since 1958. Two volunteers will visit you at home, listen, and help where we can: groceries, a gas card, part of a rent payment or an electric bill, a bed for a child.
You do not need to be Catholic, and you do not need to come to church. Last year we made 1,312 home visits.
- Help line answered Monday to Friday, 9 AM – 3 PM
- Choice food pantry Tuesday and Thursday 10 – 1, Saturday 9 – 11
- Home visits within a week
- Everything in confidence

I should like a great lake of ale for the King of Kings. I should like the family of heaven to be drinking it through time eternal.

Registering takes about five minutes. It is how the office knows you are here, and what we need before we can write a sponsor letter, set a baptism date or hold a wedding date for you.
