Lent is a call not just to "give up something" but more importantly to "give something for the poor." Wherever you live in the parish, there are poor families within walking distance of your home. When in need, they ring thte rectory bell. They are, in effect, ringing
your doorbell.
Hve you considered answering the call to serve the poor by joining the Society of St. Vincent de Paul? If you want to learn more about the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, please consider attending a free orientation training on Saturday, March 7, from 8 AM to 3 PM in the hall at St. Anthony Church. A continental breakfast and lunch will be provided.
If interested, please contact the parish office and ask for your parish's St. Vincent de Paul Conference representation to return your call in order to assist you in your registration, or email [email protected] or call Tom at 856 304-9228
no later than March 3.
