Our Lady of Lourdes Conference St. Vincent de Paul Society Our Lady of Lourdes parishioners have been very supportive of the mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Society to help the needy within our parish boundaries and for this we are truly thankful. Now, as cold winter weather brings higher utility bills that can be overwhelming for the poor, our need is especially great. We hope you will continue to support us with your donations in the offertory envelopes or by contributing during our Charity Weekend basket collections. Another easy option for contributing is a monthly automatic deduction from your checking or savings account. Just call the church office (419-865-2345) to make arrangements. Also, if you shop at Kroger, the store will donate 5% of your purchases to our conference (Call Paul at 419-297-7270 and he can sign you up). This is a way to help the poor that doesn t cost you a penny! During these remaining days of Advent may your support for the poor be a concrete way to prepare your heart for the coming of our Lord at Christmas.
