SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL

The members of the SVDP La Purisima Conference, would like to

thank everyone for the continuous support. Last year 2015, we

were able to assist almost 300 people. For a total of $30,541.00.

With your generous donations we helped with clothing, food, rent

and utilities. Keeping families clothed, warm, fed, and housed, is a

gift from all who have donated. This Saturday & Sunday there will

be a SVDP’s collection. We thank you in advance for donating to

this wonderful Ministry. God Bless! We are now going to begin

our Toy drive for our Christmas H.O.P.E. (Helping Others Provide

Enough) store. Last year we had 97 families, and over 250 chil-

dren, that received 3 toys each. It was such a success. The par -

ents were allowed to select 3 gifts per child and wrap them before

leaving. These gifts are at NO COST to the parents. If you wish to

donate a gift, you may deliver them to the Pastoral Office, or to the

pre-school.

Thank you

SVDP La Purisima Conference.

DID YOU KNOW?

Pool safety is about more than swimming Swimming is a fun way to have some fun and beat the heat during

the summer. Parents should teach their children about swimming

safety, including how to identify and handle uncomfortable situa-

tions. Although you may be watching closely to make sure your

kids are safe in the water, don’t forget about when they’re walking

around, sitting out by the pool, using the restrooms or out of sight.

Teach your children what to do when they feel uncomfortable at

the pool, and let them know it is okay to walk away and find a par-

ent or trusted adult at any time. For more information and a copy of

the article called “Know the Rules…Summer Safety Tips to Teach

Children” from the National Center for Missing and Exploited,

PARISH LIFE

CONFESSIONS

A few weeks ago I asked you to reflect upon the gifts of the

Sacrament of Reconciliation and to give me your thoughts as to

the best time and date to celebrate the sacrament. Your response

to the survey was very helpful to me and the staff as we prayer-

fully considered the options. Based upon your comments the

following modification will be made regarding the day of the

week, the time of the day and location. The Sacrament of Rec-

onciliation, God’s loving forgiveness, will be celebrated every

Friday morning from 7:15-7:45 a.m. and beginning again at

7:00 p.m. on Friday evening.

Confessions by appointment will still be available for those

wishing to receive God’s forgiveness face to-face.

Based upon your responses we will once again utilize the con-

fessional. We will also make some modifications so as to make

the penitents side more accessible.

Summary: Our new Confession schedule, starting on Fri-

day, August 19, 2016 is: Fridays 7:15 - 7:45 a.m. and begin-

ning again at 7:00 p.m.

¿SABÍA USTED? La natación es una manera divertida

de combatir el calor durante el verano. Los padres deben enseñar a sus hijos sobre la seguridad acuáti-

ca, incluso cómo identificar situaciones incómodas y cómo

reaccionar en estos casos. Aunque usted los está vigilando aten-

tamente para asegurar que los niños están a La seguridad en la

piscina implica más que saber nadar salvo en el agua, no se

olvide de poner atención cuando los niños caminan o se sientan

alrededor de la piscina, usan el baño o cuando están fuera de la

vista. Enseñe a sus hijos qué hacer si se sienten incómodos en la

piscina y que al cualquier momento está bien huir y buscar un

adulto de confianza. Para más información y para obtener una
