San Marco Conference of St. Vincent de Paul 28 May 2020
The San Marco Parish and our community have responded with great love and with unbounded and generous financial support in this financial crisis brought about by the Covid-19 pandemic..
.
Especially throughout the Season of Lent we were reminded, over and over again, of the great love and mercy of our Lord and Savior Jesus Christ. As Vincentians, we strive to spread that divine love and mercy to those in need. We pray always for the grace “to have ears to hear the “cries of the poor,” to have eyes to “seek and find the forgotten, the suffering or the deprived,” and to have hearts that “bring God’s love to the poor…”. (from St. Vincent de Paul Society USA)
We thank each one of you for joining us in this endeavor. Through your spiritual and financial support, we provide assistance to those in need in our community with rent and utility payments and for many other needs. We also serve the needy through our continuing Meals on Wheels program. We lend a helping hand to bring stability in this crisis situation.
What an incredible chain of mercy – from Jesus to you, from you to Saint Vincent de Paul, from SVDP to our brothers and sisters in need. What a wonderful God we serve.
