It is that time of year. The St. Vincent de Paul Society needs Publix Gift Cards donated in Ten Dollar increments. This permits them to provide food for people for the holidays and throughout the year.

We serve people of many cultures who live in many different circumstances where they cannot cook. Thus, they purchase food that is already prepared.

The Publix Cards help us to provide supplemental foods to people with special needs. This is done throughout the year.

Thank you for making this important donation.

Please put the cards in the Wooden SVDP Donation Boxes found in the foyer. You also may make out a check for the cards and we will purchase them.

During the upcoming season of Advent, we will worship the Lord in His Eucharistic presence. This will occur on December 5th, 12th and 19th. Each evening will begin at 7:00PM and end at 8:00PM.

I look forward to a peaceful hour each of those evenings with all of you in the presence of the Lord in the Eucharist. Besides time in prayer and worship, a brief reflection will be offered.

It is a simple spiritual exercise fit for everyone of any age. Therefore, parents, please make plans with the whole family. Bring your children, the young and the teens,
