There are many people that are presently going through tough times right now in our own back yard, Please do not forget those less fortunate friends of the parish. The Saint Vincent de Paul boxes are located at the East and West Door entrances. Saint Vincent de Paul would like to thank all of those parishioners that have been so very generous to those in need. We all work together to give shape to a more just and compassionate society.

THE FACES BEHIND SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL
The most blessed Rosalie Rendu who was a Daughter of Charity serving 54 years in the Mouffetard area (the most impoverished district of Paris). Emmanuel Bailly, the President of the Society, who sent the founding members of the Society to Sister Rosalie for guidance and direction. Her zeal for helping the poor drove her to educate poor children, care for infants, support the elderly and supervise young working girls. One disciple in her mission of service was Frederic Ozanam, founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Sister Rosalie formed founders in the spirit of St. Vincent, teaching them how to serve the poor with respect and compassion. Blessed Rosalie Rendu died on February 7, 1856 and was beatified by Pope Joh Paul II in 2003.
