St. Vincent de Paul at St. Cyril was able to assist 28 families this Christmas with gift cards donated by our generous parishioners. We received over $6,000.00 in cash and gift cards. We are so grateful for the wonderful response to our request for help this Christmas. Ninety-eight people, including children, each received gift cards and were able to use them for food or gifts.

Thank you again for your wonderful response. We hope all of you had a wonderful and blessed Christmas, as we know the many people you helped this year did as well.
 
When donating food, please check the expiration date as we cannot take expired food. Thank you for your continued generosity! God Bless!

It is always time for a clothing drive that provides warm clothing to families at St. Joseph Family Shelter in Mount Angel. Your donations are also distributed to needy area residents.  Shoes, books, clothes and household items are appreciated.  Your donations should be clean and in reasonably good condition.  Please place these items in the collection boxes in the Hall. 
   
There is a desperate need at the St. Joseph shelter for men’s clothing. This is an ongoing need. Most clothing donated are women’s and children’s clothing, which are greatly appreciated.  Here is the chance for lending a helping hand to our area men. Won’t you please consider making a donation of clean used men’s clothing today.  

Your usual compassionate response is always appreciated by the recipients of your generosity.
