Feast of the Immaculate Conception December 8

Blessed Frederic Ozanam, founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, had a great devotion to Mary, the Mother of Jesus. He declared Our Lady of the Immaculate Conception the patroness of the Society. We pray that Mary, the Immaculate Conception, will watch over and guide with her loving hand the work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in our parish and community. We pray to the Lord.
