St. Vincent De Paul Casseroles

St. Vincent De Paul Casseroles will be made in the parish cafeteria/kitchen (date to be determined). There will be a second collection the weekend of Jan. 21 & 22 which will be used to buy the ingredients for the casseroles. The number of casseroles we make depends on the amount of money collected, since each casserole costs roughly $12-$15. If you want to get a head start or if you miss the collection you can also drop off a monetary donation in the box in the breezeway with “St. Vincent Casseroles” on the envelope. There is a need for volunteers to help make the casseroles. Contact the rectory if you can help.
