This year there are two ways to support our Saint Vincent DePaul Ministry at Christmas.

This year there are two ways to support our Saint Vincent DePaul Ministry at Christmas.
DUE TO COVID 19: We will prepare fewer baskets than in past years. Volunteers must be 14 years or older.
At Christmastime, this ministry will prepare 250 food baskets for needy families and individuals - our 51st year of food baskets! We work closely with Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Charlotte and the Missionaries of Charities, and other groups, to identify the basket recipients.
IMPORTANT: PLEASE READ BEFORE SIGNING UP
Our parish's St. Vincent de Paul Fund provides emergency help throughout the year to numerous individuals and families facing a need, usually temporary, for food, rent, utility bills, medications and other essentials. Our annual appeal is in early December, but contributions are welcome anytime.
By Check: Make checks payable to St. Gabriel Church, with SVPD in the memo. If possible, please use your SVDP Second Collection envelope.
