Vincentian Priest – Vincentian Priest

What is vincentianpriest.org about?

My dear Brothers and Sisters in Christ Jesus, I welcome you all to a deep relationship with our Mighty Jesus through Vincentianpriest.org

From our pioneering missionaries as they set foot in Tanzania in 1979, to retreat Centres and prayer houses in Kenya, Tanzania, Uganda, and Rwanda: we have been reaching thousands of the faithful by the Grace of God.

As the pandemic of Covid19 has impacted the globe, through government action of social distancing, closure of churches, prayer meetings and general gatherings to contain the spread of this infectious disease, it has also brought about a challenge to the faithful to receive and hear the Word of our Mighty God.

After several hours of prayer, reflection, and discernment – The Lord has guided us to create this unique digital platform to reach all those in spiritual need.

Through technology, the Lord has bestowed his grace upon the faithful with the opportunity to read books, and articles and listen to audio recordings online and for FREE. These have been made available in various languages. The faithful can also keep up to date on daily readings with deep insight

reflections by Fr. (Dr.) John Parankimalil SDB and even watch our YouTube channel – (see videos). What’s more: you can have a one-on-one counseling session with Fr. (Dr.) Antony Parankimalil VC by booking an appointment (see counseling session) on any available free slot. He is available for 15-minute sessions on most Fridays between 9 pm and 11 pm East Africa Standard Time. This is open to anyone – anywhere in the world.

Please feel free to reach out to the intercessory team with your prayer and spiritual requests through emails, posts, sms, and on the website and our team will intercede for your prayer intentions daily, through the Holy Mass, Eucharistic Adoration, and the Divine mercy chaplet.

Please also review our program calendar so you don’t miss out on any retreats or programs that we may be conducting on an ongoing basis.

We will continuously update the site – and those who subscribe will receive not only the daily homily and reflections but also any new updates that our team will be undertaking through the guidance of the Holy Spirit.
