SainT VINcent de Paul
Thanks to all who continue to support us through the year by leaving cash and checks in our "Poor Box," located in the church on the north wall, between the doors to the vestibule and the baptismal font.
If you know of a family experiencing a hardship, please direct them to call the church office and leave a message on our SVdP line. A Vincentian will call within 24 hours. We can help with evictions, food and clothing needs, and utility shut-offs for parishioners and anyone living within our parish boundaries. People who live outside our parish boundaries will be referred to the SVdP conference that serves their area.
We are looking for new members! If you are interested in joining us in our mission, please feel welcome to attend one of our meetings. We meet monthly on the fourth Thursday of the month at 7 pm. We would love new members! Please call the SVdP line if you have questions: 248.649.5510, ext. 112
