Letter from our Pastor
-
Almighty and eternal God,
our refuge in every danger, to whom we turn in our distress;
in faith we pray, look with compassion on the afflicted,
grant eternal rest to the dead, comfort to mourners,
healing to the sick, peace to the dying, strength to healthcare workers, wisdom to our leaders and the courage to reach out to all in love,
so that together we may give glory to Your holy name.
Through our Lord Jesus Christ, Your Son, who lives and reigns with You in the unity of the Holy Spirit, God forever and ever.Amen.

St Vincent de Paul Society
Our next scheduled
Bundle Sunday Pick Up is October 11 from 7am-1pm,
please mark your calendar.We will also watch for an earlier opportunity to conduct a Pick Up if SVdP LA resumes their program sooner and will advise in the Bulletin, SMK Web-Site and News.
As the president of the St. Vincent de Paul ministry, let me express the team’s deep gratitude to you, our Parishioners, for your generous support and to Monsignor Paul Albee for his unwavering support. Being part of the St. Vincent de Paul Ministry has some unexpected and positive effects. I have learned it is very diffi cult for most people to admit they need help and then actually ask for it. It is our role and privilege to be there for them when they do.Our St. Vincent de Paul teams get to be the safe place for someone to share their fears and concerns as well as their needs. Typically, this includes help with rent, food, gas, utilities, car repairs or other expenses. We have a very short timeframe when we can assist compassionately, both fi nancially and spiritually. Our actions com-municate that we care about the person and that we are all in this together. Hard times can happen to any one of us at any time, and it is our goal in this ministry to help lift someone up who is having a diffi cult time. The bonus is it also helps lift us up at the same time.Compassion, caring, listening and teamwork are key parts of our role. Our reward is being able to assist some-one during their time of need. If you are interested in learning more, please contact me at bmcdonough@gmail.com. During this unsettled time, we are continuing to help with the support of our parish offi ce staff and are keeping all safe by adhering to social distancing rules.
So for now, whatever items you planned to bring to our Bundle Sunday, please kindly plan to keep them until October, so that the generous support you have given in the past will continue.Your help is needed now more than ever.
Blessings to you and your family,
St. Max. Vincentians.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides both financial and material support for individuals and families experiencing difficult times. Teams from our parish make personal visits to assess needs, make referrals and provide immediate assistance in some cases. Our mission, inspired by Blessed Frederic Ozanam and our Patron, St. Vincent dePaul, is an organization where women and men grow spiritually by offering person-to-person assistance to those in need. If you would like to help with our ministry please contact Bobbi McDonough by calling the church office: 818-991-3915.
