favor of God was upon him.” As we
remember the poor during this New Year may we
also
grow
in
wisdom and have the favor of God upon us. Please
remember to support the Society of St. Vincent de
Paul in the coming year so that together we can
continue to bring comfort and peace to our brothers
and sisters who are suffering. If you or a family you
know need assistance, please call the Society of
St. Vincent de Paul, 412-461-6906, Ext. 5, so that
together we can help the suffering and poor.
