The St. Michael Conference in Garland, TX met a neighbor back in March of 2023. He is a member of our parish and goes to Mass weekly. He had recently lost his wife and was grief stricken still. We ended up helping him with rent, food and got him over to the MLP department. They were able to get him set up with a loan and he is on track to pay that off in April. I spoke with Bruce from the MLP program again and he was worried about him, back in July. He asked that I call and check on him. Two of us went and did a home visit with him. Again, he is very grief stricken over his wife’s death. We prayed with him, made sure he had food and his bills paid. We put him in contact with the church where we are encouraging him to get involved in our ministries. He is doing much better.

We are also having a clothing drive on 9/17/23. The Knights of Columbus will be helping. Father and the parish are very excited about it!

St. Vincent de Paul volunteers meet every two weeks on Monday evenings.  This ministry assists clients within our parish boundaries with rent and utility bills.

Two volunteers make home visits after obtaining necessary information from our call-in hotline number.
