our heartwarming stories
It is better to give than to receive.
Our conference was greatly blessed by a young man. At his birthday, he asked his friends to bring donations for our pantry instead of gifts. The result was a lot of food, hygiene items and monetary donations for our community. Even more, a seed was planted to give to those less fortunate in our community. God Bless the Birthday Boy and his friends!!!!
We greatly appreciate this generous gift to our pantry that will bless the poor in our community, Thank You!!!

If you have a neighbor or friend who is in temporary need ...... We want to help!!
When the medical bills pile up due to serious illness, what happens to your ability to pay your ordinary utility bills? That's a problem faced by so many of our Neighbors in Need. Recently, our St. Vincent de Paul conference was able to help keep the heat and lights on for a mother and her child. The mother had been very ill, but thanks to your support of our work, we could help her pay her utility bill.
How you can helpGetting involved:Holy Family Conference and St. Francis Xavier Conference are always in need of new volunteers, new faces, fresh perspectives, new hands, and new hearts to respond to our neighbors who need help. Our Conferences are groups of people who work together to serve others and grow spiritually. We hope you consider joining this distinctive ministry. To get involved please call the Conference message phone or join one of our meetings. (See meeting times on the left)
