With the help of our “One Faith, One Family” 2020 Annual Catholic Appeal, our ministries work to provide physical, emotional, and spiritual support and guidance to those in need.

The Transformative Power of Catholic Education
I recently attended a reunion of my high school class. Most of the men I hadn’t seen in over a half-century. We reminisced about our high school experience, the great times, the great and not-so-great teachers, and the good and bad of attending an all-boys high school. But what we all remembered most was the wonderful academic environment created by the Vincentians who administered the school. We attended St. John's Preparatory School, which at the time was located on Lewis Avenue in the Bedford-Stuyvesant section of Brooklyn, New York. “The Prep” w...
