SVdP handled 33 cases, directly impacting the lives of 76 people last month. We collected just 25% of what we distributed. Our families are in great need of utilities, especially during this cold weather. Your faithful generosity is greatly appreciated which enables us to help those families in the greatest of need. We pray Jesus words “Whatever you do for the least of these, you do for me.”

St. William is again hosting the Ecumenical Lenten Luncheons at Noon on Wednesdays during Lent starting March 13, 2019. Each Wednesday clergy from different Churches in the area will conduct the service which will be followed by a light Lenten luncheon. The programs always prove insightful and interesting, and it is a great opportunity to meet people from our community.

Brown Bag Lunch Series continues Tuesday, February 12th in the Commons. The topic for this session is “Our Lady of Good Success precedes Our Lady of Fatima.” All are invited to bring your lunch and join us
