Almsgiving Sunday
March 8th -16th
Almsgiving Sunday- Thank you!!!
We collected 75 bags of food through the generous food donations by the parishioners of St Michael Catholic Community during the Almsgiving Sunday.
“The generous will themselves be blessed, for they share their food with the poor.” – Proverbs 22:9.
We are still accepting food and monetary donation as there is always a need. You can drop off food in the donation bin the Narthex at St Michael Catholic Community or give a monetary donation.

Fun Fact
St. Vincent de Paul society was not founded until more than 150 years after St. Vincent’s death. Blessed Fredrick Ozanam founded the Society. He named it after St. Vincent de Paul, who is the patron saint of charitable societies, and modelled the Society on his call to “See Christ in the poor and to be Christ to the poor”.
