St. Vincent de Paul SocietyVolunteers for St. Vincent de Paul assist families in our parish area with grocers and limited financial assistance. Food hampers can be found in both narthexes of the church for your non-perishable food donations. If each family would bring just once can every week or every month, the combined effort would keep our pantry full. You may also consider making a cash or check donation (made out to St. Vincent de Paul)
Small envelopes can be found in the pews and your donation can be dropped in collection baskets at Mass.
Los voluntarios de San Vicente de Paúl ayudan a las familias en nuestra área parroquial con comida y asistencia financiera limitada. Si usted desea donar alimentos en lata puede encontrar canastas en ambos lados de la iglesia para sus donaciones de alimentos no perecederos. Si cada familia trajera solo una lata cada semana o cada mes, el esfuerzo combinado mantendría nuestra despensa llena. También puede considerar hacer una donación en efectivo o con cheque (a nombre de San Vicente de Paúl)
Se pueden encontrar pequeños sobres amarillos en las bancas, también puede depositar su donación en las cestas de recolección en la misa.
