We invite you to join Bishop Michael Duca, Bishop Robert Muench, Father Cleo Milano and Chef John Folse as we celebrate 29 years of coming together to count our blessings.
If you missed last year’s event, it was a blast! This year, don’t miss a great soup (that can’t be purchased anywhere else) and a lot of fun! WBRZ’s John Pastorek will be present and everyone in attendance will have fun and be entertained as Bishop Duca and Chef Folse serve up a great soup to go! If you would like to see some of the fun from last year’s event, go to our website homepage feature to see a video of Bishop Duca and the whole group singing!
St. Vincent de Paul has so many things to be thankful for, and one of the things we are most grateful for is you. We count our blessings for those of you who support our work, either through prayer, volunteerism, financial support, or all three.
In a very true sense, your support of St. Vincent de Paul is an act of faith – faith in God and faith in our ability to do His work. It’s your support that makes it possible for us to serve those who are hungry, homeless, in need of prescription medicine, or other basic necessities
2023 was another difficult year because of how the economy impacted those we serve. Last year, our Dining Room served 310,897 meals (an all-time record) to those in need. We assisted men, women, children, and families experiencing homelessness by providing 31,230 guest nights of shelter. Because of your support, we were there when people had nowhere else to turn for food, shelter, clothing, and prescription medication. We were there because people like you shared their faith, enabling us to overcome every obstacle and respond to many people in desperate need.
Come Count Your Blessings and be a blessing to someone in need by supporting the twenty-ninth Count Your Blessings Supper. Chef John Folse will prepare a special Lenten soup of Creamy Potato and Shrimp Soup.
For convenient travel and to avoid hot soup spills, we will distribute frozen soup in 2-lb. bags (each serves four, 8-oz. servings). Heating instructions are included. This year’s Count Your Blessings Supper To-Geaux is scheduled from 4:00 p.m. to 6:30 p.m. (drive-thru at your convenience) on Friday, March 15th, at Our Lady of Mercy Parish. Order your tickets today online by clicking here, or give us a call at (225) 383-7837, ext. 0.
Every dollar raised through this annual event makes a difference in our community. We hope you can join us on March 15th, but if you can’t attend and are able to assist us in our important community work, please consider making a Count Your Blessings financial gift to our vital community services, or give online at svdpbr.org. Come and Count Your Blessings with Bishop Michael Duca, Chef John Folse, Bishop Robert Muench, Father Cleo Milano and John Pastorek who will be at the event!
