SGC Participates in
​St. Vincent De Paul's
Hearts and Hands
Community Event

           On Saturday, February 3rd,  members of St. Gerard Circle and their families attended St. Vincent DePaul's Hearts and Hands hands-on community family service event.   
           The Hearts and Hands events, which take place on the first Saturday of the month, bring an extra dimension to St. Vincent DePaul's “Feed, Clothe, House and Heal” mission.  The events offer families a chance to come together to tour St. Vincent de Paul,  see the services they provide for the community, and participate in arts and crafts programs which help the people who visit the center in need of their services, feel welcome and loved.  
           Our SGC families had a chance to create cards and decorations that will be used at the center.  It was a valuable opportunity for our children to learn about the importance of service in a concrete way, and have a fun time doing it.  Thanks for all who participated in the event.


Join or Assist
​the Funeral Reception Ministry

           This ministry provides a much appreciated reception for the family and friends of those who have lost a loved one and are having the funeral mass or service at Corpus Christi.  Volunteers are needed to assist in preparing, serving, cleaning up or simply bringing food to be offered at funeral receptions in the Parish Center.  Contact Nancy Shores at nshores@cox.net to be put on the sign-up genius to help when ever you can.
