S.V.D.P. Christmas Assistance Program

Throughout the year, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides assistance to our neighbours who are in need. We thank all of you who so generously assist us in this mission. At Christmas we hope to provide a little extra to our families in the community. If you can support this program by sponsoring a family, making a donation, or providing Gift Certificates (e.g. Wal-Mart) or Food Certificates (e.g. Freshco/Loblaws), please see one of the St. Vincent de Paul members in the foyer after Mass or put your donation in an envelope and drop it in our collection box. Envelopes are stored near the collection boxes. If you provide us with your full name and address, we will provide you with a tax receipt, as we do for identified contributions that you make throughout the year. We thank those of you who have already been able to direct the Christmas fundraising at your place of work to St. Vincent de Paul. If your co-workers wish to sponsor a family or two, please speak with one of us in the foyer, or call the church office, and we will contact you. Every year we receive fabulous support from our parish schools.
