Saint John Paul II, St. Vincent dePaul Society would like to take a moment and thank all of the parishioners who
participated in our Lenten Feed the Need project. Over 72 St. Vincent dePaul bags were turned in along with a
few extras. Also, the First Communion Class of 2015 donated several bags of food. St. Vincent dePaul serves on
average 40 families per month. We could not do this with out the support of our Catholic families.
A Special thanks to Dean and Joline Oswald who helped kick off this project.
