VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO HELP US WITH FUNERALS

One of the Works of Mercy is burying the dead. At OLG, we take very seriously this holy task by supporting families in celebrating the lives of their loved ones. Volunteers are needed for the following:
  • Camera Operator (it is much easier than you think)
  • Minister to assist Fr. Kevin
  • Funeral reception volunteers
Contact Helen, if you are interested.
VOLUNTEERS NEEDED TO OPERATE CAMERAS FOR DAILY MASSES

We will continue live-streaming our daily masses but need more volunteers to help operate the camera. It is easier than you think and you can “shadow” the operation as long as needed until you feel comfortable to go solo! Contact Helen

IMPORTANT TO SHARE
HELP STOCK OUR ST. VINCENT DE PAUL PANTRY

When neighbors in need call, our wonderful Vincentian volunteers are there to respond with caring support and tangible assistance. They help with rent and utilities as well as bring bags of food to those experiencing hunger. Unfortunately, our pantry is very low on food and supplies, limiting their ability to help. Please consider donating non-perishable food, hygiene items (shampoo, toothpaste, etc.), diapers, and cleaning supplies. We are now able to resume our collection of items at in-person Masses (look for the basket by the baptismal font) and continue to accept donations at the Pastoral Center. Thank you for your ongoing generosity!
YOUNG ADULT SERVICE PROJECT

Thank you to our wonderful Young Adults who helped prepare and serve food and hygiene supplies to neighbors in need through the Welcome Table in White Center this month. The Welcome Table provides lunch, clothes, non-perishable food, hygiene and cleaning supplies, resources, and support every Saturday at noon. Moving forward, our parish will shift our previous Community Meal resources and volunteer power to this interfaith, community effort to provide for some of the most vulnerable in our area. The school will continue to host their two annual Over 65 luncheons to celebrate the seniors in our community. For more information, contact Jennifer. 
SVDP

Thanks to your generosity, we were able to help 24 families in our community catch up on rent or mortgage payments &
9 families pay off their utility bills last month. READ MORE...
