No cross the person is alive. Reflection Jerusalem, the people of God, the jugs of water, our old human condition, things which can appear disposable are still so precious to the Mother God who keeps sending us the new four major food groups, Jesus, the Sacraments, our personal selves and those to whom God sends us to nourish and through whom to be nourished. Jesus is still changing old water into new wine. You have prepared a table before me, and how precious is the chalice that quenches my thirst.

VINCENT'S CORNER Note From the President of our Conference Trish Degen I started my term as President October 1, 2018 and I am a novice to the conference. I am relying on everyone at the conference to help me help others in need. So with saying that, I would like to thank all the parishioners that help make Saint Vincent de Paul run smoothly. Without the parishioners and volunteers giving of their time and talents, we would not be able to help our neighbors in need. How You Help Us Help Others: A home visitation team was making a delivery to a family in need, her neighbor came out to say that she is raising her three grandchildren and her food stamps are only $134 a month. She was so grateful when we gave her our phone number for help. Thanks to your generosity, we were able to help her and her grandchildren. The month of November our parishioners donated $ and we were able to help 515 people with groceries, 13 families with electric assistance, and 71 individuals that received prescriptions, gas, tent, propane, or bus passes.
