WELcome!
Welcome to the website for St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Parish, Stirling, located in the Long Hill Township district of Morris County, New Jersey. Please look over the information offered here.All are welcome here. The Gospel reminds us that the Lord came to seek sinners and to save them. If you are looking for the perfect church community we are not it. If you recognize that all fall short of grace and are willing to be compassionate, patient, forgiving, to love as Christ commands then we will try to do the same with and for you. Whatever your present status in the Catholic Church, whatever your current situation, whatever your past or present religious affiliation, whatever your personal history, age, background, race or color, whatever your self-esteem, you are invited, welcomed, accepted, loved, respected and challenged at St. Vincent de Paul parish to live as an authentic witness to Jesus Christ.
We have active youth programs, adult formation sessions, along with wonderful opportunities to serve the poor in our midst and further afield. We strive to live the life poured out on us in Baptism and are focused on the Presence of Christ, Body, Blood, Soul and Divinity in the precious gift of the Eucharist. Connected to Christ in this way we seek Him who has called us to be a holy people, a priestly people, a people set apart for the greater glory of God. All are welcome.
Peace,Fr. Richard

St. Vincent de Paul
"It is our duty to prefer the service of the poor to everything else and to offer such service as quickly as possible. If a needy person requires medicine or other help during prayer time, do whatever has to be done with peace of mind. Offer the deed to God as your prayer.... Charity is certainly greater than any rule. Moreover, all rules must lead to charity."St. Vincent de Paul -

Amen, I say to you, whatever you did for one of the these least brothers of mine, you did for me.

water for nanpol
WE DID IT...PRAISE JESUS!Sincere thanks to those who have contributed to the Lenten Appeal for our sister parish in Haiti. Our goal was to raise $30,000 to place a water filtration system there so that for the first time in their history they will have access to water that is fit for human consumption. To date $59,674 has been raised from 102 individuals/ families and $1,731 in cash donations placed in the water containers in the vestibule of the church. As it is a Lenten Appeal, we will continue to receive donations as there are so many needs which we will be able to address with all monies raised. Please do not see the continuation of this appeal as anything except the opportunity for more parishioners to participate and the desire to do more for our sisters and brothers in Haiti. Thank you.
