Friday Flocknote and Bulletin submition Deadlines

Dear St. Theresa Parishioners,

Your generosity through our 5th Sunday collections makes a profound difference in the lives of our neighbors in need, and we are deeply grateful for your continued compassion and support.

Because of your kindness, families in our community facing difficult circumstances have found hope, stability, and the reassurance that they are not alone.

This year, however, the need has grown significantly. For the first time in many years, our parish St. Vincent de Paul Conference is depleting its bank balance as requests for help continue to increase. Funds that in past years could be shared with the District’s Aid to the Needy Fund or our downtown Community Center, which provides free meals, showers, laundry services, and diaper distribution, are now being used directly to assist struggling local families with urgent rent and utility payments, helping them avoid eviction, homelessness, or the loss of essential services.

In just the first two weeks of May, our conference helped three families remain in their homes through advocacy with landlords and financial assistance within our means.

This is the quiet but powerful work of St. Vincent de Paul: meeting people in moments of crisis with compassion, dignity, and practical help.

As the need continues to grow, we appreciate your continued support, not only through financial donations, but also through the gift of your time. If you have ever felt called to put faith into action through service to neighbors in need, we would warmly welcome new volunteers to join our conference ministry.

Thank you for being the hands and heart of Christ in our community. Your generosity brings hope where there is fear, stability where there is uncertainty, and love where it is needed most.

With gratitude,
 St. Vincent de Paul, St Theresa Conference
