Re: St. Vincent de Paul Roman Catholic Church
Here is a reply to a recent inquiry I sent:
From St. Vincent de Paul Catholic Church in Wildwood.
We currently have a seating capacity of from 450 to 500 per Mass. Our new church building which will be complete in October of 2009 will seat 1700 per Mass. It will be about 500 seats more than St Timothy's and the largest church in the Orlando diocese. That capacity plus the fact that St Marks, which is on route 42 on the other side of The Villages from us, is also building a new church and it will be similar in seating capacity to St Timothy's should allow less crowding at St Timothys as well as allow our new 1700 seat church to seat people comfortably. We are also aware of the traffic problems that St Timothys has and will be designing our new parking lot to help with more efficent exit and entrance. It is a blessing that Florida, or at least centreal Florida needs more churchs not less like some of the other states at this time.
