St. Vincent de Paul / Community Ministry Sunday

Whenever there is a fifth Sunday in a month, St. John Vianney Parish takes up a special collection to provide funds for our parish St. Vincent de Paul and Community Ministry teams. These folks do wonderful work in our community, taking care of people in need. St. Vincent de Paul serves a large number of people with emergency needs. Community Ministry volunteers provide a number of services, including food for families dealing with the death of a loved one. They also manage the Mother's Day Layette Collection and the Giving Tree at Christmas.

Both of these groups can use more volunteers, but there are even easier ways you can help. This weekend, bring an extra $5-$20 for the second collection or bring a selection of non-perishable foods to be distributed to families in need. You can even make it a habit to bring some canned goods every week when you come to church. Just deposit them in the wooden bin in the front entry area of the church.
