OUR TICKET TO THE KINGDOM - St. Vincent de Paul is asking for your monetary response to "Whenever you did one of these things to someone overlooked or ignored, you did it to me said Jesus". Corporal Works of Mercy are tangible ways in which God's love is made present to those "overlooked or ignored". It is by these works of mercy that we live out the Gospel Message and we bring good news by transforming someone's life for the better. We do it not as a "social service" or to feel good, but because in doing it we allow Christ himself to embrace our brothers and sisters in need through our St. Vincent de Paul Fifth Sunday second collection.
