Welcome to the Parish of St. Vincent Ferrer and St. Catherine of Siena in the Roman Catholic Archdiocese of New York, served by the Dominican Friars of the Province of St. Joseph.
If you are new to the Parish, we invite you to register and make this your spiritual home. Registration not only allows us to accompany you in moments such as serving as a godparent or preparing for marriage, but it also helps the friars to keep you more intentionally in their prayers. Most of all, it is a simple way to become more rooted in and connected to the life of our parish community.

The Men’s Group will meet on Saturday, September 5, at 10:30 AM in the Parish Center at St. Vincent’s. Participants are welcome to arrive at 10:15 AM for coffee, light refreshments, and quiet fellowship.
Each meeting begins with Mid-Morning Prayer (Terce) led by Fr. Francis, followed by the proclamation of the Sunday Gospel, a brief reflection, and an opportunity for questions. A period of voluntary sharing and discussion on the Gospel and its application to daily Christian life follows.
In observance of Labor Day, the Parish Offices will be closed on Monday, September 7. We will offer only two Low Masses in the Parish:
St. Catherine’s | 7 AM
St. Vincent’s | 9 AM
No Confessions will be heard.
While St. Catherine’s will stay open through the afternoon, St. Vincent’s will close at 11:30 AM.

Matthew, Mark, and Luke are known as the Synoptic Gospels because their accounts of Jesus and his disciples are seen “with one eye.” What is the concern of the different communities for whom each evangelist is writing his gospel? What is still a concern today?
Fr. Albert Parestky will lead this session of Mystagogy to unpack how the differences give us a fuller picture of Christianity at its beginnings, and how the first Christians saw and proclaimed what God has done in Jesus Christ -- Mark as the apocalyptic gospel, Matthew as the gospel of the new Israel, and Luke as the gospel of salvation history.
This series will meet on Monday evenings at 6:45 PM from September 14 to October 5 in the Lower Church at St. Vincent's.
