Our monthly collection for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP) charity takes place this weekend at all Masses.  By contributing to this collection, the SSVP can provide much needed assistance of food, clothing, household items and furniture to families and individuals in need.  Envelopes are available at the entrance to the church for your donations.  Collection baskets are located at the entrance and exits of the church.  Thank you for sharing in the work of SSVP with your financial contributions.

Holy Baptism is the basis of the whole Christian life, the gateway to life in the Spirit, and the door which gives access to the other sacraments. Through Baptism we are freed from sin and reborn as children of God; we become members of Christ, are incorporated into the Church and made sharers in her mission (c.f. CCC, 1213)
