Dear Parishioners,

Merry Christmas! For many of us this is

a time of joy, family and friends. We

celebrate that Jesus is the reason for the

season. But, as you all know, not

everyone is as fortunate. The St. Vincent

de Paul ministry strives to bring joy to

those who need help for the basics - for food, for clothing, for

bus tickets, for beds, for help with rent and utilities, and, yes at

Christmas, for toys for the children. It is our honor and privilege

to do this. We are always looking for new members if you are

interested. Please let the Parish Office know. Thank you for

your support which enables us to make this happen. For

Thanksgiving we were able to help 24 clients with extra

assistance which included 10 boxes of food prepared by our CK

school families. Thank you to our school! For Christmas we

have plans to help 18 families which includes 3 families being

helped by Blanchet High School. Big thanks to

Blanchet! Another thank you goes to Zumiez who recently

donated warm coats, sweatshirts, hats and socks just in time for

the cold winter weather! This generous donation was shared by

many ministries including Mary's Place and St. Martin de Porres

as well as St. Vincent de Paul. We appreciate your continued

support. Please be sure to mark your red-edged Special

collection envelopes for St. Vincent de Paul. Unmarked

envelopes go in to the general collection. And, during this

Christmas season, please consider doing some of your shopping

at our local St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store on 135th &

Aurora. They have specials every day and are continually

adding new merchandise. All great deals and your patronage

supports St. Vincent de Paul! Wishing you and your family a

very Merry Christmas and a Joyous New Year!

P.S. One correction to the SVDP Annual Report Membership

List - Barbara Lamoureux is an Active Member. She was listed

as an Associate Member. Our apologies to her.

Pope’s Universal Intention: That the scandal of child-soldiers

CALENDARS – 2017!

Yes. They are already in the mail! Following past tradition, Fr. Lyle will be collecting calendars again for the men in Monroe prison. They are so grateful in receiving them and it adds a lot to their “room”! Colorful calendars are excellent. NO wire spirals. NO wire spirals! If you would be so kind as to bring them to either the parish office or church sacristy, Fr. Lyle will pick them up with a prayer of gratitude! GOD BLESS YOU! (Mt 25/36). - (Fr.
