"As
a mission of the Episcopal Diocese of Texas, our task is to
encourage the community (those served and those who serve) to
be proactive in their lives; helping to bring the needed changes
for a renewed and revitalized community.
Our prayer is that all those who enter St. Vincent's doors will
at least be able to leave with hope. We are an Oasis of Hope,
expecting miracles..."

Jackson, Executive Director
