Thank you to our wonderful St. Thomas Aquinas parishioners for your generous donations to the 2nd collection for our St. Vincent de Paul Conference last weekend.
With the funds collected, so far we have been able to help three Palo Alto families with rent, help with the expense of car repairs for a family living in their car, and to purchase food for the daily food bags we hand out at the parish door. We have referred the family living in their car to other agencies that can help to remedy this very difficult situation.
We are very grateful to be able to help people in their need. We will also be careful to make this collection stretch until our next collection at Holy Thursday.
