Inspired by Gospel values, a group of parishioners here at St. Francis of Assisi under the guidance of our pastor, has established a conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
The purpose is to meet the emergency
material needs of others. True, Springfield is not a "poor
community" but from time of time we all need help , not just
financial help.
Just as Jesus while on earth Jesus did not
limit Himself to saving the souls of all people, so Jesus among
us reaches out to help those in need.
Here are what this local group offers, in the Name of Jesus: - Emergency financial help
- H.O.P.E. (Helping Other People in Emergencies with
Transportation)
- Homebound Visitors (Regular friendly visiting, as brief as
15 minutes or longer, if you wish.)
and regular telephone contact.)- Food & Clothing
- Joseph's People (Assistance in finding employment)
- Catholic Social Services (Information and referral to
proper agencies)
- Government Aid Programs (Information Referral)
Confidentiality: The identity of those we help is protected.
Only the pastor and those members who meet with you face-to-face
will know your identify, if that is your wish.
Number to call for any of the above assistance:
610 573 1077; say it is a St.
Vincent de Paul call.
