The St. Vincent de Paul Conference here at St. Raphael continues to be dedicated to serving the needs of the poor by providing beds, mattresses and bedding, emergency food supplies, temporary rent and utility assistance and sharing resources for additional longer-term basic needs such as furniture, food assistance and employment opportunities.  Your support helps us meet the needs of so many.  Since January, we have:

helped 49 neighbors in the Cleveland area which includes 4 children; and paid:

$12, 260 for rent assistance

$3808 in utilities

$942 for beds/furniture

$800 to help other parishes serving those in need, and

$404 in other aid.

The Conference members and those we serve are deeply grateful and thank you for your care and on-going support. May God continue to bless you and your families.
