Resources

Welcome to the St. Vincent de Paul Resource Page! We hope you find it a useful tool for learning about our Catholic faith. 

3 Minute Retreat (FREE on iTunes and Android)
3-Minute Retreats invite you to take a short prayer break right at your computer. Spend some quiet time reflecting on a Scripture passage.  Knowing that not everyone prays at the same pace, you have control over the pace of the retreat. After each screen, a Continue button will appear. Click it when you are ready to move on. If you are new to online prayer, the basic timing of the screens will guide you through the experience.

Mass Times (FREE on iTunes and Android)
The purpose of the Mass Times ministry is to help Catholics get to Mass by helping them find churches and worship times worldwide. We do this by hosting and sharing the most comprehensive database of Catholic churches and worship times in existence. Dioceses, parishes, and many volunteers help us keep the database current.

Catholic Church App (FREE on iTunes and Android)
For the first time, the Catholic Church app from USCCB brings together parishes and (arch)dioceses across the United States—as well as the Vatican—into one, single mobile solution.
The App Features All This and More:
