LOVE IN OUR WORKS

In today’s Gospel, when Jesus asks “which of these three, in your opinion, was neighbor to the robbers’ victim?” the scholar of the law answered, “the one who treated him with mercy.” Jesus then said, “Go and do likewise.”

This week you can also “treat the poor with mercy” by putting a gift in the St. Vincent de Paul Poor Box.

The needy will never be forgotten, nor will the hope of the afflicted ever fade. - Psalms 9:19

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL BUNDLE WEEKENDS - July 27 and 28

St. Linus NO LONGER has St. Vincent de Paul clothing collection boxes on church property. Instead we will have three “Bundle Weekends” in the parking lot. Collection boxes are still located at St. Gerald and St. Germaine parishes.

Our 2019 Bundle Weekends will be on April 27-28, July 27-28 and October 26-27.

Bundle Weekend July 27-28 - Our St. Linus Saint Vincent de Paul Conference will be accepting gently used clothing items at our “Bundle Weekend” on July 27-28. They will provide much-needed assistance to a struggling neighbor. Bring them to the church parking lot.

SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL FUNDRAISER AT BOURBON STREET - September 22

St. Linus Conference of St. Vincent de Paul will be participating in our 2nd Annual Fundraiser on Sunday, September 22 at Bourbon Street. More information will be posted as we get closer to the date.

In the meantime, we need your help with raffle prizes. If you have something you would like to donate (gift cards, theater or sporting event tickets, restaurant certificates, etc.) please contact Dana Pyzik by leaving your name and phone number at the rectory.

No donation is too large or too small when joined together to help those in need.
