Did you know that you can make a Memorial Donation to St. Vincent de Paul in the memory of a loved one?

We have had many inquiries and wanted all to know that this is possible. Simply provide the name of the deceased, the name & address of the deceased family and your name and address; this is required so that all will receive acknowledgments of this memorial.

There are two options for making a donation in memory of a loved one.

1. Enclose a check made out to St. Vincent de Paul and place all this in an envelope addressed to St. Vincent de Paul.  Mail to our church address or take to the office here at church, and they will put in our mail box.
2. Visit our  on-line donation forms and make a one-time donation.   When checking out, add the details for the memorial.

The memorial donation will go directly to serve God’s children in need. What a beautiful way to remember those we loved and lost.

A heart-felt THANK YOU SO MUCH!  to Cristina’s who enabled us to raise $900!!  We so appreciate their help and cooperation to further our work for those in need.  We encourage everyone to support Cristina’s throughout the year and let them know we are all grateful for their support of St. Vincent de Paul and our community.  We all agree, “Cristina’s rocks!!!

Thanks to all who attended the Spring Creek BBQ fund raising event.

Tonight a representative from Spring Creek BBQ stopped by the Saint Vincent de Paul meeting to thank us for our efforts and to present a check for $1,000.00

Thank you as well, to all of the wonderful SVdP volunteers who helped with the fundraiser by assisting and serving during the event.

The next Client Advocate Training will be held on August 14th from 10:00 am until Noon in the Msgr Duesman Room.

For those who are new to St Vincent de Paul and may not know, Client Advocates are St Vincent de Paul members who meet with our clients person-to-person to determine how to best serve those who are in need.

To become a Client Advocate, you must complete the Client Advocate Training as well as the Diocesan Safe Environment program. If you have further questions, or to register you intent to attend, please contact the SVdP Client Advocate Chair, Cindy at cindyccac@sbcglobal.net or (214) 566-8672

As we prepare for Deacon Daniel’s Prayer Vigil, which begins tomorrow (Tuesday 30 March) after the 8:30 a.m. mass at St. Francis, and continues for 24 hours, we are asking for your assistance in promoting the vigil’s special events. Please attend as many of these events as you can — and please bring your family members! (Please email this information to your friends).

As of Saturday, all 48 prayer positions had been filled by 42 different petitioners, including many from SVdP. While we want at least 2 people praying at every hour through the 8:30 a.m. mass on Wednesday, we are hoping to see numerous people praying at every hour. Therefore, please know that even if you are not scheduled to pray, you are invited (and encouraged) to come and pray at your convenience, whether it’s for 5 minutes or a full hour.

You may send your personal message to Deacon Daniel and his family by writing in Deacon Daniel’s Prayer Vigil Journal, which will be available on the SVdP table near the narthex.

Special Events Schedule

The following special events are scheduled during the vigil — please attend them!

• Tuesday, 9 a.m., Fr. Larry’s prayer service.
• Tuesday, 10 a.m., Deacon Ed Putonti’s prayer service.
• Tuesday, noon, music presented by St. Francis Choir.
• Tuesday, 3 p.m., music presented by St. Francis Choir.

• Wednesday, 6:45 a.m., Deacon Gregg’s prayer service.

Special events occur simultaneously while petitioners are praying in the church. If you’re a petitioner, you may continue to pray silently during special events, or follow the lead of the person leading the event, i.e. sing with choir members, pray with the priests and deacons, recite the rosary, etc.

Participating in the vigil is a meaningful step through our Holy Week 2010 Journey!
