Phoenix Area update Dec 25

On December 1st, 2025, the Phoenix area assembled to share some uplifting first Monday activities. We began with a Rosary prayed in the chapel together with members of St Vincent de Paul in South Phoenix, followed by a tour of their facilities by their CEO and a comprehensive update on the many services and programs that they offer to the city’s people in need. Note that this is the largest St VdP facility in the Americas, and our members were struck with how important and abundant this holy apostolate has become across the USA.

In the Vincentian chapel for the Rosary we included 35 members, 7 zoom members, and 4 guests/inductees.

We prayed with special intent for our Brothers and Sisters in the Holy land as they begin their Advent, after which we share a wonderful dinner at the dining room there and exchanged our Advent/Christmas wishes with each other.
