A reminder that this weekend (July 2/3) there will be a Third Collection after Communion at all Masses as part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society Winter Appeal to provide direct assistance to those individuals and families in need in Hoppers Crossing.

Last year the 13 Active Members of the Hoppers Crossing Conference made 862 Visits to homes and distributed over $73,000 in Coles Gift Cards, for food and other Supermarket supplies; as well as tens of thousands of Dollars in clothing and furniture.

The motto of the Society is: No work of charity is foreign to the Society. We help in whatever ways we are able. Thank you for your generosity.
