Annual Bookbag Drive Book Bag Drive

Our Parish St. Vincent de Paul Society is conducting a “Bookbag Drive” to assist needy school children. Since school begins on August 18, please bring your donation as soon as possible. The last collection will be the weekend of August 2-3. When you purchase school supplies for your children, please buy something extra for this collection. If you do not have school age children, just buy some supplies the next time you go shopping. Examples: pencils, pens, paper, notebooks, rulers, binders, crayons, markers, bookbags, and lunch boxes. Do not wrap the items; leave them in the store bags. Bring the bags and place them in the St. Vincent de Paul box in the vestibule of the Church.

Mass Every Sunday

God never takes a vacation from loving us and caring for us. With a little effort you can usually find out Mass schedules wherever you are, so you do not miss Holy Communion. You can get help finding Mass times in the phone directory or at www. Masstimes.org Parish expenses also continue even when you are away for vacation. Contribute ahead for the Sundays when you will be absent. And when you return, come to thank God for a safe trip.
