taking time to seriously look at ourselves, the priorities of our lives, and
how we are growing spiritually.
Ask yourself “What would Jesus Christ do?” and then put your gift in
the Society of St. Vincent de Paul poor box so that whose who are suffering will be able to celebrate Thanksgiving.
Thanksgiving bags are being handed out
each weekend until the final day to turn
them back in (November 16, 2014). Our
families that would not be celebrating
Thanksgiving this year if it weren't for your
help. Please return your bag as soon as
you can to the Narthex of the church by
November 16th.
Good news! The Food Bank of
Northwest Louisiana has gotten turkeys after all! They were
$2.50 each! Thanks to the people that donated money for the
purpose of buying turkeys. We certainly used it! In the month
of October, St. Vincent de Paul fed 94 families, which included
108 children, 135 adults, 18 senior citizens. Pounds of food
distributed were 5,005 costing $501.45. SVdP helped 1 family
avoid eviction at a cost of $100. Eight families were helped with
utilities costing $400. One family were helped with a motel
costing $47.60. Thank you for your support. We certainly
couldn't do it without your help. We help a family monetarily
only 2 times a year; therefore, we aren't helping the same people
over and over. Also, thank you for all the nice clothes
donated! If you need a donation receipt for taxes, please let us
know. May God bless.
