Merry Christmas From St Vincent de Paul
In those days a decree went out from Caesar Augustus
that the whole world should be enrolled.
This was the first enrollment,
when Quirinius was governor of Syria.
So all went to be enrolled, each to his own town.
And Joseph too went up from Galilee from the town of Nazareth
to Judea, to the city of David that is called Bethlehem,
because he was of the house and family of David,
to be enrolled with Mary, his betrothed, who was with child.
While they were there,
the time came for her to have her child,
and she gave birth to her firstborn son.
She wrapped him in swaddling clothes and laid him in a manger,
because there was no room for them in the inn.
Now there were shepherds in that region living in the fields
and keeping the night watch over their flock.
The angel of the Lord appeared to them
and the glory of the Lord shone around them,
and they were struck with great fear.
The angel said to them,
“Do not be afraid;
for behold, I proclaim to you good news of great joy
that will be for all the people.
For today in the city of David
a savior has been born for you who is Christ and Lord.
And this will be a sign for you:
you will find an infant wrapped in swaddling clothes
and lying in a manger.”
And suddenly there was a multitude of the heavenly host with the angel,
praising God and saying:
“Glory to God in the highest
and on earth peace to those on whom his favor rests.”

Happy Thanksgiving
“There is always someone who is hungry or thirsty and who needs me. I cannot delegate this to another. This poor person needs me, they need my help, my word, my care.” - Pope Francis
Helping Those In Need
Thanks to the incredible generosity and kindness of the parishioners at St. Francis of Assisi Catholic Community, the Frisco conference of St. Vincent de Paul will be able to provide the families we are currently assisting with Thanksgiving meals that will bring a bit of much-needed cheer to those who find themselves in difficult circumstances and in need this holiday season.
St. Vincent de Paul would like to express our heartfelt gratitude to the dedicated Columbian Squires for their assistance in loading and unloading the boxes of food.
Furthermore, the St. Francis of Assisi Knights of Columbus Council #12480 has generously donated several warm winter coats to the families being supported by St. Vincent de Paul as part of their Coats for Kids fundraising campaign, ensuring that these families remain warm during the colder months.

Car Donations
Looking for a way to clear out garage space and give back this Fall? Consider donating your old or unwanted car to SVDP North Texas!
We’re participating in CARtober - a special event during the month of October to turn your old or unused car, truck, motorcycle, or boat into proceeds that go directly to helping neighbors in need.
Best part about it - there's no cost to you and it is simple to do! I recently donated our 10+ year old minivan, and you can see more about the experience here.
CARS will pick up your vehicle for free and provide you with the paperwork for an all-important tax deduction.
Here’s How It Works
Call 1-855-500-RIDE or complete the online donation form here. The CARS Vehicle Donation Support Team is available seven days a week.
Schedule your free pick-up: CARS will arrange to have a licensed tow company pick up your vehicle at a convenient time — all at no cost to you.
Receive your tax receipt: When the vehicle sells, CARS will send you a thank-you letter and any necessary documents you need for your tax-deductible gift.
