Precious Moments

Thank you to the students and staff at St. Mary’s Hannah school in Kingsley, MI. They generously donated to St. Vincent de Paul. The letter below accompanied their donation. Bless you kids !!!

In his Circular Letter of December 12, 1915, Vicomte Hendecourt, President-General writes:

“The Society has two aims: to do a great deal of spiritual good to its members through the exercise of charity, and to do a little spiritual and temporal good to a few poor families in the name of Jesus Christ. If it did not continually seek to combine these two aims, it would lose its raison d’etre (reason or justification for existence). If it were to seek only the holiness of its members through pious exercises, there is no lack of Confraternities and Third Orders to meet that need. If on the other hand, it were to seek only the relief of the temporal miseries of the poor, it would only add one more to the list of public and private institutions founded for that purpose.”

Our youngest volunteer to date, Chloe, is seen below having a little fun imitating the tree art at the Vos home in Long Lake Township.  Chloe helped her dad and other volunteers pick up items from generous donations this past Saturday all about Grand Traverse County.  To build a strong foundation for the organization to last generations, it is important to get the kids involved.  Everyone had a great time.

 

Donation pick ups are available on the 1st and 3rd Saturday of the month, typically in the morning from 9 to noon.  For more information, please call us at 231-947-8466.

A great big “THANK YOU” to all the employees and management at ECI Healthcare Partners that participated in the recent Food Drive benefitting St. Vincent de Paul – Traverse City.  Your generosity helped fill the shelves of the ever depleting food pantry we operate that helps needy individuals and families in our community.
