This Is Our Last Week of the ACA Campaign!
We are wrapping up your time to make a pledge.
|
|
Thank you to all who have helped us raise $81,431 for the Annual Catholic Appeal. We still need $1,844 to hit our parish goal of $83,275. If possible, we hope to use our parish rebate, (the amount raised over the goal) toward the cost of our much needed audio/visual system upgrade.
We are hoping to raise an additional $39,537 to hit our parish goal + the audio/visual system.

Be generous when you worship the Lord,
and do not stint the first fruits of your hands . . .
Give to the Most High as he has given to you.
— Sirach 35: 7, 9
As we enter the season of Ordinary Time, we are grateful for the extraordinary ways in which our parish has supported our neighbors during these long pandemic months. Thank you!
Even as the virus wanes, its grievous effects continue. The state’s eviction moratorium ends on June 30; the moratorium on utility disconnects ends July 31.
We are holding our breath to see how this will affect our neighbors. Rent bills never stopped coming for those who lost jobs or income, and the moratoriums do not forgive past-due bills. Many people will owe huge amounts at the end of June. Federal and state assistance is beginning to flow, but no one knows whether it will be enough.
Your gifts have enabled us to help many large families this month. As in April, we gave more than $3000 in rental and utility assistance in May, and continue to give liberal amounts of food and other supplies from our pantry.
One of the best parts of being a Vincentian is the opportunity to make friends not only in the conference but also among those we serve. One whom we have known for many years has kindly invited us, as she does every year, to celebrate her birthday next month!
Our pantry needs black beans, dish detergent, and canned chicken.
Thank you again for your continuing support as we move into uncertain, yet hopeful, summer months.
OLL St. Vincent de Paul
