SOCIETY OF ST VINCENT DE PAUL
(ST ANTHONY’S CONFERENCE)
The Society of Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization that aspires to live the gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy and by working to shape a more just and compassionate society.
ST. ANTHONY’S CHOIR
Music is an integral part of the celebration of Holy Eucharist and the catholic tradition of prayer. One who sings prays twice. One cannot find anything more religious and more joyful in sacred celebrations than a whole congregation expressing its faith and devotion in singing. The mystery of the liturgy with its hierarchical and community nature is more openly shown. The unity of hearts is more profoundly achieved by the union of voices.
