HELP WANTED

The St Vincent de Paul organization of this parish needs more members with fresh ideas and a willingness to help the needy with guidance and practical assistance. It can be more important to change a light bulb in the ceiling than giving them food. Actually visiting the homebound and others who need help is an objective that was dropped because of Covid; with new volunteers –who would visit in pairs—we could restart this. But right now 50 percent of our active members are over 80 years old, and the money you give for this purpose is spent mostly for food assistance, utilities, gas vouchers and bus passes. If you are interested in joining this group as active members, contact Ron Enos at 417-619-9827 or Sister Elizabeth Ann at the parish office 417-831-3565.
