As we reported in our last newsletter article, our Chapel project continues to make progress, trees have been removed, and the project is now out for bids. Pray that the bids come in at a reasonable level.
We hope that by next Christmas our Chapel will be open for those we serve and our dedicated volunteers.
As you may know, the chapel will be built in the heart of the St. Vincent de Paul charitable campus. This project is important to the community because individuals who come to us seeking help often ask for a quiet place where they can reflect and pray.
When someone is experiencing homelessness, hunger, or poverty, they have a sense of desperation and hopelessness. Hope, faith and prayer gets so many people through those tough times.
We will be able to help so many in need, and so many people who volunteer at St. Vincent de Paul. Volunteers do so in order to grow in their spiritual lives. Through the years, we have witnessed so many volunteers coming to us with the hope to change someone’s life and found instead that their own faith lives were transformed.
