SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY
The Parish Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul will meet on Tuesday, January 9th at 6:30pm in the Rectory. All are welcome to attend!
Our parish conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society has partnered with the Sisters of Life and are asking parishioners to contribute their infant and toddlers' old clothes and child accessories for the ladies in their care. The Sisters of Life are devoted to assisting young mothers to both encourage them to have their babies as well as to assist them in taking care of their babies. They provide housing, food, and medical care for these mothers. On the weekend of Jan. 19-20 we are asking parents to donate their children's old clothing, bibs, linens, furniture and/or strollers that they no longer need. We will be collecting these items after all masses on that weekend.
Please do not bring items at any other time as storage space here is at a minimum.
We sincerely thank you for your generosity and thoughtfulness.
