When we serve the poor and the sick, we serve Jesus. We must not fail to help our neighbors, because in them we serve Jesus.” – St. Rose of Lima
Back-To-School Report:
Our Back-to-School families were so appreciative for the many gifts of food, school items, store vouchers and gift cards that they received. One family expressed they have been having a rough year, and so appreciative SVDP is helping to make their lives a bit easier. Another family said they feel so blessed and appreciative to SVDP.
Thank You’s:
• We could not have done Back-To-School event without the help of our faithful donors, parishioners, church office staff and many people who volunteered. Thank You!!!
• SVDP thanks the Altar Society for their generosity in providing store gift cards to families, so they can purchase children’s school clothing. Thank you for your compassion!
