A community formed by Word and Sacrament for Service
The Roman Catholic Community of St. Vincent de Paul is in the heart of downtown Baltimore, within walking distance of the Inner Harbor. Although few of our parishioners actually reside in its vicinity, every weekend almost 300 of us come from all over the city and the five surrounding counties to celebrate liturgy here, even though most of us pass several other churches on our way.
We have four Masses on the weekend, each with its own character, but all with a strong sense of community.
We are a diverse lot–different races, ethnicities, ages and professions. What we share is an awareness of our Baptismal commitment and a desire to be active in ministry.
We have a shared commitment to build our community on Word and Sacrament and to live our discipleship in Service.
Our pastoral team, parish council, and committees try to provide vision and leadership, but there is plenty of room for everyone’s ideas and everyone’s ministry.
We are a comfortable and friendly community who knows how to have fun.
We are the people of God.
We warmly welcome others to join us on the journey.
