Every year on Black Friday it is our tradition to help with a luncheon for local people in need of a hot meal, because the St. Vincent De Paul Soup Kitchen in Altoona run by Sister Paula is normally closed that day. Our volunteers served 101 meals to the needy. A photo of our food dropoff at Evergreen Manor, December 2025.  The first of our deliveries of toiletry items collected to support the homeless/those in need at Family Services in Altoona. August 2025. Thank you to all who donated!  Every August it is our tradition to help with the end-of-summer children's picnic held at Evergreen Manor. Food and volunteers were supplied by our Conference on Friday, August 15.  Currently, St. John's parish is collecting cereal for St. Vincent de Paul. Thank you to all who donated!  The St. Rose Conference donated food from our annual 40 Cans for 40 Days of Lent food drive to Evergreen Manor and we purchased Easter Candy for the children at the Manor. Thank you to all who donated!   Here are two pictures of deliveries made from the November food drive at St. Rose. The food went to Family Services (homeless & teen shelter) and Evergreen Manor.
ST. ROSE OF LIMA CONTINUES WITH ITS HOMELESS SUPPORT PROGRAM The St. Rose of Lima St Vincent de Paul Conference collected hooded sweatshirts for use by Family Services in their homeless/needy programs. Through the month of November Parish members from St. Rose, St. Patrick, and St. Thomas More donated slightly worn and new hooded sweatshirts towards this worthy cause. A total of 266 sweatshirts, along with 17 coats and 6 hats, were delivered to Family Services by Conference members. Dan Weaver, St. Rose Conference president, said, “The members of the St. Rose of Lima SVDP Conference would like to say thank you to all the parish members who donated to this noble cause. 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. God Bless You All!”  The St. Rose of Lima Conference collected much-needed items for use by Family Services in their homeless programs. Through the month of August Parish members donated items, such as toilet paper, tissues, hand soap, soap or shower gel, laundry detergent, deodorant, shampoo, toothbrushes, and toothpaste. Very generous donations from St. Rose, St. Patrick, and St. Thomas More were delivered to Family Services by the Conference for use at their Homeless Shelter. The members of the St. Rose of Lima SVDP Conference would like say thank you to all who donated to this noble cause. 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. God Bless You All!  |
