As we begin a new year, the members of the St. Vincent de Paul Conference at St. Cyril's look forward to fulfilling our mission of caring for the needs of families in our area.  We believe that work on behalf of our sisters and brothers is a vivid expression of Christ's presence in the world.  There is much to do and we welcome new members.  If one of your New Year's resolutions is to become more active in the parish, come to our next meeting on February 16th at 9:15 in the Parish Hall and learn more about our mission.

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.
