Join the St. Vincent Lunch Team Project!

By providing ten sack lunches a month, you can be a part of a bigger team that will provide 3,000 meals to individuals and families who are without basic essentials through the St. Vincent de Paul Shelter. We are asking donors to make a six month commitment. Donors make ten lunches a month in their home using their own resources and then drop them off on their assigned dates, once a month, at St. Christopher on a Sunday morning. Clipper Courier then donates their truck and driver to deliver the meals to the St. Vincent de Paul Shelter.

HOW TO JOIN THE SVDP LUNCH MINISTRY

Please email Elise at esas@scpchurch.org

We are filling the dates for January to June 2023; donors are assigned to either Team A (January 29, February 26, March 26, April 23, May 21, June 18) or Team B (January 15, February 12, March 12, April 2, May 7, June 4).

Walking with Moms in Need is an opportunity for those in our parishes to assist local pregnant and parenting women in need and in difficult circumstances. Walking with Moms in Need is an initiative of the USCCB Secretariat of Pro-Life Activities which serves the Church’s mission to proclaim that each human life is a precious gift from God. Our five parishes will pilot Walking with Moms in Need in support of our local pregnancy resource center – Elizabeth’s New Life Center and the clients they serve. Last weekend, parishioners had the opportunity after Mass to hear more details and to complete a Resource Survey to indicate their areas of interest to help pregnant and parenting moms. In the following months Elizabeth’s New Life Center will share the needs of clients to be matched with one of our volunteers. We hope you will prayerfully consider joining us in Walking with Moms in Need.
