St. Vincent de Paul is assembling hygiene kits that fit in small bags.
There is a barrel in the vestibule, dear parishioners.
The barrel is there for donations from you.
Our St. Vincent de Paul needs non-perishable food,
But now we need travel or personal-sized items too.
We distribute the food to our neighbors in need.
The small hygiene kit items are for folks with no homes.
They need soap, hygiene wipes, tissues, shaving cream, first aid ointment,
Band-Aids, deodorant, nail clippers, toothpaste, shampoo and combs.
Please put these things in the barrel when you come to church,
So we don’t leave the homeless out there in the lurch.
Thank you.

The St. John Book Club is reading Fr. Richard Rohr’s Falling Upward: A Spirituality for the Two Halves of Life for its next meeting at 4pm on Sunday, August 22nd. If you’d like to join the discussion, contact Diana Grusczynski at diana.grusczynski@outlook.com. Here are a couple of nuggets from the book to whet your appetite:
“… the task of the first half of life is to create a proper container for one's life and answer the first essential questions: “What makes me significant?” “How can I support myself?” and “Who will go with me?” The task of the second half of life is, quite simply, to find the actual contents that this container was meant to hold and deliver.”
“ The bottom line of the Gospel is that most of us have to hit some kind of bottom before we even start the real spiritual journey.”

We ran across a St. John’s Mothers' Club cookbook from 1965-66 in our archives. We thought it might be fun to share a little bit of culinary history with you each week in our newsletter. Enjoy!
There are bits of advice sprinkled throughout the cookbook as well.
Here are some examples:
...Do you know that if you happen to be out of sour cream, a little buttermilk on baked potatoes is every bit as good as sour cream?
...Be an "instant" success. For instant coffee that tastes like the real thing - bring water to a boil, then put instant coffee in the water. Let the water come to a boil again...until bubbles come to the top. Let sit a minute before pouring. The second boiling is the "secret".
...When rolling cookie dough, use powdered sugar instead of flour on your board. This will make your cookies a wee bit sweeter, but they will not get tough as they sometimes do on a floured board.
