If you’re cleaning out your closets, cupboards, and garages, St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is ready to take your stuff! And to make it easy, we’re hosting Stuff-A-Truck events almost every month! The neighbors we serve are in need of items—everything from clothing and linens to household goods and furniture.

We will have trucks at parishes on the following Saturdays, 9-11 am:

May 10– St Gabriel

July 12- St Christopher (5301 W 16th Street)

Aug 16– St.Gabriel

Oct 11–St.Christopher

Nov 8- St Gabriel

Donors should simply drive up and place their donations by the truck. SVdP volunteers will load the donations into the truck.

Please put your clothing and other soft good donations into plastic trash bags and household items in boxes.

Keep in mind, we are seeking basic household items that are in good enough condition to give to people without resources to purchase them. Torn, broken, or dirty items, although offered to SVdP in good faith and good intent, will be declined.

Pope Francis has asked our parish to support the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, which help Christians in the Holy Land, where they are now less than 2% of the population. Your support is essential to help the Church minister in parishes, provide Catholic schools, and offer religious education. The Pontifical Good Friday Collection also help to preserve the sacred shrines of Christianity, including in Jerusalem, Nazaret, and Bethlehem, to name only a few.

The pandemic had hit Christians in the Holy Land particularly hard. Most of them depend on pilgrimages for work. The war made their situation even more dire. In these times of crisis, the Pontifical Good Friday Collection is necessary to meet the basic needs of the People of God still living in this Land and to maintain a Christian presence where the Church was born.

When you contribute to the Pontifical Good Friday Collection, you join with Catholics around the world in solidarity with the Church in the Holy Land.

PLEASE BE GENEROUS!

We are still updating our records. If you have moved during the last year, please notify us of your new address. If you receive printed envelopes monthly in the mail, please use those envelopes and not the green envelopes from the Church. The printed envelopes have all the information we need to ensure that you receive credit for your donations. Thank you.

Todavía estamos actualizando nuestros registros. Si se ha mudado durante el último año, por favor notifíquenos su nueva dirección. Si recibe sobres impresos mensualmente por correo, utilice esos sobres y no los sobres verdes de la Iglesia. Los sobres impresos tienen toda la invormación que necesitamos para garantizar que reciba crédito por sus donaciones. Gracias.

Registered Parishioners receive a registration # when we enter their information into our system. This is also used as your envelope #.

• You will not receive the preprinted envelopes unless you have been making contributions regularly. It can take 2 mailings (2 months) before you begin receiving the envelopes (or changes in name/address will be seen)

• If you want to receive envelopes by mail, you must register and use the 1st packet we give you. Forms are by the church doors, gathering space or Parish Office.

• If you are receiving envelopes in the mail, but you want to stop receiving them, let the office know.

To remain “Active” in our system it is important to use envelopes regularly. You can use the green/white envelopes found in the racks in church/lobby areas. Thank you!

The majority of the blue recycle containers have arrived. They will be distributed to the classrooms and offices. We have more on the way and the larger containers for the cafeteria are in transit.

The yellow & green container will be removed at the end of December. Until then we can continue to put ONLY PAPER in that container. The blue, single stream, or mixed, recycle container can be used for ALL RECYCLE materials.

We must depend upon YOU, our parishioners, to do your part in this recycling effort. Let’s all become more conscious of recycling and remind each other.

-Recycle bottles, cans, paper and cardboard

-Keep food and liquid OUT OF recycling

-No loose plastic bags or colored trash bags

Blue containers with the recycle logo are for recycle only. NO TRASH, FOOD or LIQUIDS.

Recyclable materials:

-Empty glass or plastic bottles or aluminum cans

-Clean plastic, glass or food cans – contain no liquid or food

-Paper and cardboard – clean

In the following weeks, we will keep you updated on our progress in our recycling efforts. We’ll also go into more detail what items and materials are recyclable. Thanks, Bernadette Allison.
