St. Vincent de Paul – August 2024
*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.
August 18th: Twentieth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In today’s Gospel, Jesus tells us that “Whoever eats my flesh and drinks my blood remains in me and I in him.” As we know, our loving God cannot be seen by our eyes, but only experienced through loving people.
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.
August 11th: Ninteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
In this Gospel the love that Jesus reveals through the symbol of the cross is: self-giving, sacrificial, healing, forgiving, in solidarity with the weak, confident in the power of God.
During the hot summer months many of the elderly, especially those who are sick, are not able to find relief from the heat. Please help the Society of St. Vincent de Paul to bring respite and hope to them.
August 4th: Eighteenth Sunday in Ordinary Time
The Gospel tells us “This is my beloved Son. Listen to him.” By “listening” we are able to live the gospel. Gospel living is something so simple as taking the time to listen to those who need to spill out their hearts when seeking help.
Through your gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul you enable the members of the Society to become a “listening heart” to the hungry, the homeless and the struggling poor.
