LOVE IN OUR WORKS - BULLETIN NOVEMBER 29, 2020

As we begin Advent, we are called to “Be watchful! Be alert!” as we stand in joyful anticipation for the grace of Christmas to once again bless our lives.

Your gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box will help the poor to celebrate the grace of God’s love this Christmas.

"God is asking me to be poor with the poor in order to bring them to Christ."
- St. Angela of the Cross

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL'S CHRISTMAS 2020 - Ongoing Giving

Our Christmas 2020 looks a little different
but will still be filled with all the joy of Christmas.

We have decided the safest option, for families we are helping, is to give gift cards to parents so they can have the joy of shopping and wrapping their own gifts. This will eliminate several layers of contact with gifts being given to children, and will hopefully keep them a bit safer.

If you would like to participate in our gift card collection by giving a gift card that will be passed along to families, please put it in an envelope marked St. Vincent de Paul and drop it off at the rectory or in the collection basket at Mass. Thank you!

THANKS TO ALL FOR YOUR GENEROSITY!
