There are times when we just can't do it alone.

St. Vincent de Paul is an organization that is helping our parishioners in need. When a request for aid comes into the rectory, two SVDP members visit the family to assess immediate need. Food certificates and emergency aid are given as needed. At the next scheduled meeting the problem is discussed and a determination is made of how future help can be delivered. Our volunteers assure confidentiality for anyone seeking assistance.

A Challenge 

Once upon eternity 
Above the clouds so high, 
There were some chosen Angels 
Who had no wings to fly; 
Their hands were made for helping, 
Their hearts were tender, too, 
Their smiles were warm and happy 
And glowed as haloes do; 
So God sent down these angels, 
Because they are such dears, 
To spread their gentle love on earth; 
We call them volunteers.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a group of individuals working together to alleviate suffering in our community. We provide emergency short-term material assistance to those in need who contact our rectory. A team consisting of two members visit with the individual or the family and ascertain their needs. If the situation demands immediate action, we assist those in need with food, clothing, referral information and at times we even help pay a bill.

Thanks!

Because you are concerned ... .......

This is a note of appreciation. Our thank you is a simple but sincere statement. You are being thanked by the poor and the needy for food, clothing, medicine, and other needs you are supplying. The St. Vincent de Paul Society thanks you for allowing us to be a channel of your almsgiving. 

"The Poor Boxes are the Bread Boxes of the Needy."

The work of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is the Gospel message in action.

I was hungry,
I was thirsty,
I was a stranger,
I was naked,
I was sick,
I was in prison.

 ... And you cared.
