Vincentian Message: Today as we celebrate the gift of the Body and Blood of Christ let us pray for those who are hungry, malnourished and starving.
This month, through your gifts, we were able to bring the peace of God to the poor by assisting several families by providing food and assistance with utility and rent bills. Thank You!
