Reverend Janet Vincent Departs Grace Church Sunday as New Parish Hall Dedicated

Posted on October 11, 2006 by John Bailey

WPCNR MAIN STREET JOURNAL. October 11, 2006: The Reverend Janet Vincent is leaving her calling at Grace Church in White Plains to become Rector of St. Columba’s Parish in Washington, D.C.

Reverend Janet Vincent, longtime White Plains personality, shown in an interview December, 2004, at the time when Louis Cappelli announced his $1 Million contribution “in kind” towards the renovation of the Parish Hall. The Grace Church was in delicate negotiations with renewing their rent contract with Westchester County on whether or not to continue their Samaritan House/ Open Arms services. Thanks, in part, to Mr. Cappelli’s contribution, and a reported donation from Mr. Cappelli, the church was enabled to continue their social services to the homeless with a new $599,200 contract with the county.

Reverend Vincent’s last service at Grace Church will be conducted Sunday, October 15. Afterwards, the new Grace Church Parish Hall, undergoing renovation by Louis Cappelli, her next door neighbor at The Ritz-Carlton, will be dedicated with the Super Developer, Louis Cappelli, Mayor Joseph Delfino Reverend Vincent participating.

At the close of the 10am Mass, Grace Church parish will dedicate the completion of renovations for its parish hall building and honor Mr. Cappelli for this work which represents a major gift to the parish. Mayor Delfino of White Plains and Louis Cappelli will make remarks during the service. Mr. Cappelli will be presented with a rendering for a new stained glass window in his honor that will be placed in a church window facing what will be an open plaza when The Residences at The Ritz-Carlton, Westchester and The Ritz-Carlton Westchester hotel are completed in 2007.

With the conclusion of the six-month renovation project, the Grace Church
Community Center programs, which include Samaritan House, Day Care, Soup
Kitchen, and Annex to Open Arms Shelter, will return to the building offering
