There is no way to accurately calculate the value, time and effort our St. Vincent Volunteers gave this year. We made 341 Home Visits, which is almost 1 for every day of the year!!! We assisted over 977 people. With your endless donations of food we were able to deliver 1,705 bags, valued at $20,460.00. As volunteers, we were able to witness God’s love and see the face of Jesus in those we served.
Our Society depends on your loyal support, and we are always so blessed with the generosity of Saint Michael Parish. Even through these difficult economic times, your donations have been strong and steady. As you know, one hundred percent of every dollar you give to St. Vincent is used to provide assistance. We thank the families of Saint Michael who have so generously given over the years. Please continue to support our great works of charity and pray for our ministry as we assist the poor. If you have not been supporting our St. Vincent de Paul Society, please prayerfully consider making a donation. Our collections are once a month, and envelopes are provided for your convenience along with the church envelopes.
Many Blessings,
The Vincentians of Saint Michael Catholic Church
