Funding is supplied by individual contributions, the church poor box, and from corporate donations. Through home visits\/phone interviews, our members give hope to our brothers and sisters in Christ. Direct financial assistance may be given for rent, mortgages, shelter, utilities, medical bills, car repairs, telephone bills, and more. Your donations of food are distributed from our food pantry. Gift cards are given out for clothing, gasoline, and furniture. Because of your support, we are also able to provide Thanksgiving dinners and Christmas gifts to families in need.<\/p>\n<p>St. Vincent de Paul is an independent charity, serving those within the parish boundary at the invitation of the church. St. Vincent de Paul Society is a network of friends inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness, and building a more just world through personal relationships and service to those in need. Since January, a six-month period, we have assisted 29 families with financial aid and provided 634 bags of food, and 228 gift cards for food, gas, and clothing. This included helping a mother and her five children with rent support. We also helped our neighboring parish St. Vincent de Pauls with financial assistance to 20 families, recently assisting a man with stage IV cancer and his four children with rent.<\/p>\n<p>All of this would not have been possible without the strong support of our parish. We are so grateful for you! <strong>If you are interested in more information, we meet on July 10th at 6:30 PM in the Activities Center.<\/strong> For more information on joining this ministry, or to seek help, please call the parish office at (734) 237-4793 and leave a message on the SVdP extension.<\/p>\n<p><strong>\u201cGo to the poor: you will find God\u201d&#8230;&#8230;&#8230;<em>St Vincent de Paul<\/em>.<\/strong><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>The St. Genevieve-St. Maurice Society of St Vincent de Paul provides financial and spiritual help to our neighbors in need who live within our parish boundaries.
