Twenty-Ninth Sunday in Ordinary Time:
In the Gospel today Jesus says: “Repay to Caesar what
belongs to Caesar and to God what belongs to God.” When God is the
center of our lives there is no problem with giving others their due.
Thur your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you are helping your
neighbor who is hungry, hopeless and frightened to know that they belong to God.
Summer is gone and fall is here. It's a good time to donate no
longer needed clothes. We especially need coats for children
and adults. St. Vincent de Paul in September fed 102 children,
110 adults, and 15 senior citizens. Pounds of food distributed
were 4,100 at a cost of $507.85. Twelve families were helped to
avoid cut-offs of utilities at a cost of $680.71. We were able to
help 2 families avoid eviction costing $150. Many, many thanks
to Ladies Guild and Friends in Faith & Service for their
generous donations, which made the outreach above
possible. Our commercial-size refrigerator has been broken for
weeks waiting for the part to arrive from Korea. Thanks
extended to the rectory and Gabrielle Hall for letting us keep our
eggs in their refrigerators between "open" pantry days. What a
blessing! Please remember SVdP in your prayers. As you can
see, none of the above would have been possible without YOUR
help. We spend wisely and are always s-t-r-e-t-c-h-i-n-g the
dollar.
Our annual afghan give away has begun. For each food
item donated, fill out 2 tickets. Drop into the box on a
stand. For each $1 donated, please fill out 2 tickets. The
Drawing will be held at the Parish Picnic, Sunday, October 19,
2014. Thank you for your support.
SVDP Memorial Book is in the Rectory.
