Wow, we are extremely grateful to our Altar Society, Knights of Colum-bus, our faithful parishioners and the St Vincent de Paul members for the very generous donations. We could not have helped all the families and singles in March and April without your support. March and April were very busy for us. We helped many singles and families which included 21 children. Thank you again for your financial support, moral support and your prayers!! St Vincent de Paul
