St. Vincent de Paul Giving Tuesday

In the words of St. Vincent DePaul, “Charity is the cement which binds Communities to God and persons to one another…” 

During this time of giving thanks for our many blessings, our Holy Cross Society of St. Vincent DePaul is asking you to remember those who are less fortunate in our community. We are seeing an increase in requests for assistance with the most basic needs, rent, food, utilities, since the Covid relief money and the moratorium on evictions have ended.  

Over the past year and a half during the pandemic, we have been graced with the generosity of so many people and have been able to meet the needs of our less fortunate neighbors who have requested help. For that, we are most grateful. We were not able to hold our Vines of Hope fundraiser this year due to indoor Covid restrictions so we will be participating in Giving Tuesday on November 30, 2021. 

As Vincentians, we are asking for your support so that we can continue to live the words of St. Vincent DePaul, “Extend your mercy towards others, so that there can be no one in need whom you meet without helping.” 

Please keep all who are struggling to make ends meet and those who serve them in your prayers. If you are able to make a donation click on the link below or write a check to St. Vincent DePaul Society, 2300 West Main Street, Batavia, Illinois 60510.

May God bless you abundantly during this holy season.

“Inspired by Gospels values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam and patron St. Vincent de Paul.

As a reflection of the whole family of God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility, and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supported gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule. Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
