Weekly Reflection
November 13, 2022
Today as we celebrate Christ the King, may we open the door of our heart so wide that we may listen to the voice of Jesus calling us to help build his kingdom here on earth.
In the month of November, through your gifts, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to help build the kingdom of God by assisting several families by providing food, and money for utility and rent bills.
Thank you!

September 25 Update (from the Parish Bulletin)
St. Paul VI Society of St. Vincent De Paul Thank You to our Parish Community!
2022 has been a challenging year; so far, we have helped 34 individuals with financial resources of $10,294. In addition to financial assistance, we connect people to community resources that can further help them to get back on their feet. Most importantly we deliver a message of Christian
hope, faith, and charity.
Our Society has merged the passion and resources of St Hugh, St Mary, and Mater Christi. We stand as a testament to the fact that we are stronger together. We are an organization that assists individuals and/or families facing financial difficulties. We help to cover everyday costs like rent, utilities, and groceries.
The St Vincent de Paul Society is a very discreet organization. We do not draw attention to our activities. We respect our neighbors’ privacy. We are diligent custodians of the funds entrusted to us.
Currently, we are a membership of about 15 people with representation from our legacy churches. Most of our funds come from committed monthly contributors as well as parish organizations and 97% of the funds we receive stay in our local communities.
This past year we helped several families avoid eviction by covering rent payments; others were helped by paying utility bills, household repairs, health care needs, and food. We also had a clothing drive that benefited the greater Chicagoland St Vincent de Paul Society.
We are all familiar with the saying being a paycheck away from being out on the street. The continuing challenges caused by the pandemic coupled with rising prices for rent, gas and groceries have put many more people in this kind of precarious state. Thankfully, through your constant prayer and support, we continue to be a resource in the community to quietly help those in need.
If you need assistance or know someone who does, please do not hesitate to call the parish office and ask for the St. Vincent de Paul extension.
St. Vincent de Paul – pray for us.
