Parishioners of Holy Redeemer Church in San Antonio, Texas, welcomed Father Kevin Fausz, CM, as their new pastor in May. He is the first Vincentian to serve the parish.

Providence at Work in New Vincentian Post
The Vincentian way of life sometimes calls its members down unexpected paths. Often, there lie unexpected rewards.
So it seems with the arrival of Father Kevin Fausz, CM, at Holy Redeemer Parish in San Antonio, Texas, earlier this year. Vincentians have a history in San Antonio that dates back to the 1840s, when they founded San Fernando Parish. They also served in several parishes in the 1940s. However, Fr. Fausz’s arrival brought new excitement and anticipation to the Holy Redeemer congregation. Just how did a Vincentian from the Midwest Province wind up at a Diocesan parish in the Southern Province, especially a parish with no prior Vincentian ties?

New Affiliates of the Vincentians are Honored
An Affiliate of the Congregation of the Mission is someone who has been connected with the works of the Vincentians for an extended period of time, and demonstrated their personal commitment to living the Vincentian spirit and charism. In September, the Southern Province honored four newly appointed Affiliates at Holy Trinity Parish in Dallas.
