Dinner Before Bedtime Meals
|
|
Several people from St. Vincent’s Parish delivered dinners to children during the month of April. After that some people said they would like to have done that. Now is your chance. Our parish has been asked to deliver meals to children during the month of December. We pick up meals from Cracker Barrel Restaurant at 5:00pm. It takes about 1 ½ hour to deliver them. If you feel like you and a friend can do this a few times this December, please call 812-455-9348 as soon as possible. I feel I have to cover the days that no one takes and I can’t cover Monday or Wednesday because of other commitments. Please HELP. Make your Advent mean something!!

Prayer Before & After Mass
|
|
 Remember that it is a beautiful practice to pray before Mass and after Mass. Offer a pious, heartfelt prayer before Mass asking Jesus to touch and transform your life. Offer another such prayer at the end of Mass, thanking God for the Eucharist

Did you know that St. Vincent Parish has an endowment which will provide a perpetual source of revenue for our parish? It is managed by the Archdiocese’s Catholic Community Foundation. Utilizing the power of investing and compound interest, annual distribution from our endowment will provide for the general needs and operating expenses of our parish.
As we add to it and it grows, so does the annual distribution and impact. A wide variety of gifts can be contributed – cash, stocks, mutual funds, charitable IRA rollovers, bequests, charitable gift annuities, life insurance/retirement designations, to name a few. Perhaps your own personal legacy of stewardship can link with St. Vincent’s. Contact Margaret Haehl or Sr. Joan with any interest or questions

Book Box at St. Vincent:
|
 There is a new Book Box in the corner of St. Vincent’s parking lot by the Hall. It is for people to trade books. Bring a book, take a book. The books can be children’s book, good novels, whatever kind you want to share. There is no limit of how many you take or if you bring them back just enjoy.
