Sharing

This Christmas, as it has been done in the past, the Conference of St. Vincent De Paul involved  the whole Parish of St. Andrew's in sharing food items, toys and clothing with the people in need living around St. Andrew's community.

During the first three weekends in December the parishioners brought their donations to the church. The six schools that exist in the parish territory were also involved in collecting items to be shared with the less fortunate ones; the students of two classes of one high school, as they came to attend Mass at the church, brought their food donations carrying them in their backpacks under a heavy snow storm.

On Friday, December 20, a great group of Volunteers - of all ages - sorted out all the items and placed them in numbered boxes, ready to be collected.

Today, December 21, the people in need started arriving at 9 am: over 120 persons came to receive their Christmas hampers, together with a Christmas card and a voucher for veggies. 

Our greatest gratitude to everyone who helped making life easier and warmer for some of our brothers and sisters.

Happy and blessed Christmas!
