It was a spectacular evening on March 14th, as St. Vincent’s hosted its 10th annual Joe-Paddy Festival, a major fundraiser celebrating the feast days of St. Joseph and St. Patrick. “Any time you can fill up a tent with a thousand people who come out and support the seminary says a lot about their faith and hope for the future of the church,” said Msgr. David Toups, Rector/President of St. Vincent’s. “Likewise, whenever people come here, they experience the faith, hope and normalcy of our seminarians.” We thank our supporters, the community businesses and volunteers who make this event successful. Throughout the school year, we offer opportunities for the community to join us for Mass, fundraisers, or other special events. We would love you to join us!
