Society of St. Vincent de Paul:
"Making a Difference, One Person at a Time"
This weekend we are focusing on the The Society of St. Vincent de Paul - a worldwide Catholic organization of laypersons, open to all who wish to live their faith by loving and serving their neighbor. Members of the Society help those in need, regardless of race, ethnicity, gender, orientation, handicap, or religion.
Local members of St. Vincent de Paul will offer hospitality after all the Masses and present a slide show on their works and mission. Come and find out how the Society helps those in need. At Thanksgiving, the Society delivered 68 food boxes to families and over 200 boxes in Tigard through St. Anthony's.
The Society is always in need and welcoming of volunteers. You can get involved this year by signing up to deliver Christmas food boxes on Saturday, December 17. Call the Parish Office at 503-636-7687 and sign up to deliver.
