VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY After Jesus was baptized, he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and a voice was heard This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased. As we give to the poor, we also can hear these same words. As you place your gift in a Society of St. Vincent de Paul envelope, know that you are a sign of God s love to those who are suffering and you give them reason to believe and to trust. Please continue to help us by placing a donation in a green envelope found at the side and rear entrances of the church and chapel. We may be contacted by calling 630-355-1081. Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, Saint Vincent de Paul.
