You shall love the Lord your God with all your heart,with all your soul, and with all your mind.
This is the greatest and the first commandment.
The second is like it: You shall love your neighbor as yourself.
The whole law and the prophets depend on these two commandments.Matthew, 22:37-40

"Please Help Me"
Those are the three hardest words for anybody to say.The St. Elizabeth Ann Seton Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was founded by Catholics to live our faith through charity; to help those most in need; to love and serve the Lord by loving and serving our neighbors.
Through your generous contributions, we are able to provide support to families within our parish boundaries who are experiencing difficulties within our social structures. The funds are used to rescue families who find themselves in an unexpected crisis situation and provide temporary financial assistance, education, and support to help them become self-sufficient.
♦ $100 will help provide a struggling family with basic household necessities.
♦ $250 will help pay for a family’s utilities at a point when it might be turned off.♦ $500 can help a family make a COBRA payment for one month so they don’t lose their health insurance.
♦ $1,000 can help a family facing eviction with rent or mortgage payment.
♦ Your tax–deductible donation in any amount is much needed and greatly appreciated!
The need is real and ever increasing. We cannot help our clients without your generous donations. Your donations help needy and suffering parishioners as well as those living within our parish boundaries.
