As we celebrate the mystery of the Trinity we also realize the mystery of how much God loves and cares for us each day. By believing in this our lives can then overflow in thanksgiving and praise. In the month of May, through your gifts, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul was able to bring the love of God to the poor by assisting with food and helping with utility and rent bills. Thank you!
