On the way into church this morning, I was happy to drop two bags of non-perishable foods to be picked up tomorrow and taken from St. Jude's to a larger food bank at Sacred Heart. I didn't realize just which group of people in the parish took care of the delivery from our church to the other, but upon asking another parishioner was told the St. Vincent de Paul Society did this. Oddly enough, today was the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul, so I felt good that I was helping the cause on this particular day. This group does a lot of charitable work anonymously especially at the coming holidays with complete Turkey dinners at Thanksgiving and Christmas dinners along with gifts for each member of a family. With so many people out of work, they will be very busy this Fall.
