COLLECTIONS If you are donating to multiple collections, PLEASE make a separate check for St. Vincent De Paul. St. Vincent has its own checking account, and placing all collections in one

check makes it more difficult to separate. The rest of the collections can be done with one check, for example Sunday’s and the Capital Campaign. Thank you for your generosity, and may the Lord continue to bless you and your family. **REMINDER: all checks must be written in either black or blue ink.**
