Dear friends of St. Vincent de Paul and fellow Immacolata parishioners, ***
During this time of stress, fear and seclusion, we want to reach out and serve people in need. They have the same fears and concerns we do, but without the basic necessities that we enjoy. Many will lose their jobs. Many will fall on hard times. Let's share a little of what we have with these neighbors. "As long as you did it to one of these least brothers, and sisters of mine, you did it to Me.
****Due to ongoing concerns about Covid 19 sandwiches for poor will not be made in the cafeteria for the time being, however they still are being made and the need is bigger than ever. If you are interested in being a part of this vital ministry there are many ways to help. If you would like to make the sandwiches at home as a family we will shop and get the supplies to you and deliver them when you are finished . Please contact Angie Potter 314-302-5293
