Thank You from St. Vincent de Paul 
The St. Vincent de Paul Society would like to thank all parishioners who contributed canned goods and non-perishable food items and monetary donations during our Autumn Food Drive.

Your generosity will be a great boost for our Christmas Baskets as we are anticipating a greater need this year.
