Hello Vin-Teen and Minnie Vinnie Families!
We have been given a few wonderful opportunities to help our St. Vincent dePaul Society in their efforts to provide for our neighbors in need:
NOVEMBER'S Corporal Work of Mercy:
BURY THE DEAD
WHEN: 6:00 pm Sunday November 2nd
WHERE: Westside Cemetery
Please bring a candle or LED candle, your rosary, and a jacket. Entire families are encouraged to attend. Our Vin-Teens and Minnie Vinnies will lead the prayers for the people buried at the cemetery, especially those who are least visited.
UPCOMING: THANKSGIVING FOOD DRIVE
WHEN: Starting: Saturday, November 1st and Ending: Sunday November 15th
WHERE: Hand out flyers after all of the Masses encouraging people to fill a bag with Thanksgiving foods for a family in need. We will also be helping stock the pantry help once the donations come in.
ONGOING: GARDEN OF EATIN'
WHEN: Saturdays TBD 10:00 - 10:30 am
WHERE: Designated area on the backside of the church office

GOAL: To start a community garden to supplement the Saint Vincent DePaul pantry with fresh foods for our neighbors in need.
NEED: Mulch, natural fertilizer, straw bales, wooden pallets, extra garden tools, extra watering equipment, plants or seeds, gloves, etc.
You will need a rake and gloves to help spread out the donations of mulch and fertilizer that is constantly being delivered throughout the week. This is a family event!
