St. Vincent de Paul – September 2024
St Vincent DePaul Society is a Catholic lay organization that leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
*Checks made payable to Society of St. Vincent de Paul and dropped in the collection baskets will help us serve our neighbors in need throughout the Greenlawn area.
September 1st: Twenty-Second Sunday in Ordinary Time
The gospel today hits home closer than we may think. What traditions do we blindly cling to? Perhaps it is enough for us just to go to Mass on Sunday? Do we keep the letter of the law and miss entirely the spirit of the law. Interior righteousness means a heart turned to God. Purity of heart is expressed in righteous living: self – giving for the sake of others.
As you give your gift to the poor through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, in your heart you also will find the good news of God’s love.
September 8 – Twenty-Third Sunday in Ordinary Time:
September 15: The Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary
In today’s Gospel, even the child in Elizabeth’s womb leaps with joy at the approach of Mary, the “lowly servant,” who by accepting God’s plan for her became blessed for all generations.
With love for your neighbors who have nothing, look around your house to see what furniture, household items, and clothing you no longer use…and give it to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
All Souls Day Novena of Masses November 2nd – November 10th
