ST VINCENT DE PAUL

Jesus said, “WHEN YOU GIVE TO THE NEEDY DO NOT LET YOUR RIGHT HAND KNOW WHAT YOUR LEFT HAND IS DOING,” but I believe that it is a good time for parishioners to know what our church does with the money you give for the poor through your contributions to St Vincent de Paul and the Giving boxes during Lent.
Every month our St Vincent de Paul contributes 25% of your donations to the Well of Life at 418 S Kimbrough where we feed the poor who can now come once a month for food. Our church and 7 other churches have been doing this for over 15 years. Some of our parishioners volunteer there. In addition, in the month of February, St Vincent de Paul helped 2 families with temporary housing, provided 180 bus passes for the Well of Life to give to those in need of transport to appointments or job interviews, helped 45 people with utilities, gave 17 gas vouchers, and helped 90 families with food when working at Crosslines food pantry.
Additionally, our parish continues to help Grace United Methodist Church each month with personal items and protein foods for their closet and supports the cost of doing laundry for the homeless there at the church.
