SUPPORT ST. VINCENT DE PAULBLACK BAG COLLECTION
Each year our parish supported the Society of St.Vincent de Paul through their annual Archdiocesan-wide Black Bag Collection. This year's collection willtake place on July 11-12, 2020. This is the Society’s
single largest fundraising campaign of the year, whichtypically takes place during mass. This year’s
collection will be different because of the COVID-19pandemic many of our parishioners who would
normally donate to the Society’s Black Bag Collectionwill not be present during mass for this year’s
collection. This means the Society could possibly notmeet their goal necessary to help our neighbors in
need. Please consider donating to the Society of St.Vincent de Paul’s Black Bag Collection.
