Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference has received two grants to support their work — a Safety Net grant from the Brookline Community Foundation and a Friends of the Poor grant from the National Council of SVdP.  The number of requests for rental and other assistance has increased significantly over the past several months.  Together with generous contributions from parishioners, the grant funds will allow our Vincentians to continue their ministry of service.  We are most grateful to the Brookline Community Foundation, the National Council of SVdP, and our parishioners for their support.
