     God, thrust into Hell Satan and the other evil spirits who prowl about the world for the ruin of souls. Amen.

    PRAYERS
    Apostles’ Creed: I believe in God, the Father almighty, Creator of heaven and earth, and in Jesus Christ, his
    only Son, our Lord, who was conceived by the Holy Spirit, born of the Virgin Mary, suffered under Pontius
    Pilate, was crucified, died and was buried; he descended into hell; on the third day he rose again from the
    dead; he ascended into heaven, and is seated at the right hand of God the Father almighty; from there he will
    come to judge the living and the dead. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the holy catholic Church, the communion of
    saints, the forgiveness of sins, the resurrection of the body, and life everlasting. Amen.
    Nicene Creed: I believe in one God, the Father almighty, maker of heaven and earth, of all things visible and
    invisible. I believe in one Lord Jesus Christ, the Only Begotten Son of God, born of the Father before all
    ages. God from God, Light from Light, true God from true God, begotten, not made, consubstantial with the
    Father; through him all things were made. For us men and for our salvation he came down from heaven, and
    by the Holy Spirit was incarnate of the Virgin Mary, and became man. For our sake he was crucified under
    Pontius Pilate, he suffered death and was buried, and rose again on the third day in accordance with the
    Scriptures. He ascended into heaven and is seated at the right hand of the Father. He will come again in glory
    to judge the living and the dead and his kingdom will have no end. I believe in the Holy Spirit, the Lord, the
    giver of life, who proceeds from the Father and the Son, who with the Father and the Son is adored and
    glorified, who has spoken through the prophets. I believe in one, holy, catholic and apostolic Church. I
    confess one Baptism for the forgiveness of sins and I look forward to the resurrection of the dead and the life
    of the world to come. Amen.
    An Act of Spiritual Communion: My Jesus, I believe that you are present in the most Blessed Sacrament. I
    love You above all things and I desire to receive You into my soul. Since I cannot now receive You
    sacramentally, come at least spiritually into my heart. I embrace You as if You were already there, and unite
    myself wholly to You. Never permit me to be separated from You. Amen.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Long Island is thrilled to announce the return of our annual golf outing.
Join us on Monday, May 17th, 2021 for the 17th Annual Golf Classic, as we honor Mutual of America as our
"Business of the Year," and John Gatto (St. Matthew-Dix Hills) as our "Volunteer of the Year." While we of course invite
our Vincentian community to be present that day for golf, gourmet meals and a celebration of our mission, this year
is particularly exciting, in that participants need not be present to enter or win our amazing selection of raffle prizes!
That's right! Our raffle is going "virtual," meaning that anyone can participate from any location! Winners will be
announced the evening of the outing, and distribution will take place in the following days.
