St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Rose Conference News
For many families in our community, ongoing economic hardships have resulted in daily struggles to put food on their tables. Some people simply don’t have enough food to eat and go to bed hungry. This year we will be joining our Parish’s Knights of Columbus members in their “40 Cans for the 40 Days of Lent” program. We aspire to have each parishioner contribute one can of food per day throughout the 40 days of Lent, beginning on Ash Wednesday, February 17th and concluding on Holy Thursday, April 1st. Donations of canned food or dry goods can be placed in the donation box located in the vestibule of the Church. All donations will be delivered to local food banks on April 1st.

Each day of Lent we also ask you to say the following prayer at meal time for those needy individuals and families throughout the world.

Make us worthy, Lord, to serve those people throughout the world who live and die in poverty and hunger. Give them through our hands, this day, their daily bread, and by our understanding love, give them peace and joy. Amen

(Prayer for the Poor by St. Mother Teresa)

Thank you and may God Bless You!

Care Packages Project
God Bless all those who took the time out of their busy Christmas schedules to fill a box for our Care Packages. By the day after Christmas the St. Vincent de Paul donation area was filled to the brim with 12 Care Packages all filled and ready for delivery.

Thank you from the bottom of our hearts!
HELPING THOSE IN NEED DURING COVID-19 PANDEMIC

To the extent possible, we are adapting the ways we provide service to meet the needs of local households coping with poverty. Many are facing challenges-- especially the elderly, those with compromised immune systems, those with chronic health issues, and those with respiratory issues.

If you know of someone who needs assistance please let us know and we’ll do what we can to help them out.
When we give to the poor, God indeed pours his love, peace and joy into our hearts, into our lives and into the hearts of those who are poor.
