The Saint Vincent de Paul Conference at St Catherine’s has committed to helping 23 neighborhood families during the Thanksgiving season. Our goal is to raise $2,100 to fund this effort. Approximately half of these families are headed by mothers who are deaf and have suffered abuse. We plan to provide each family with a voucher to purchase food for a meal they plan, shop for, and prepare. The voucher is to a local grocery store for $30 per person in the family. Please help us, if you can, by: 1. Write a check, mark it clearly for the SVDP Holiday Program, and place it in the collection basket or mail it to the parish office. 2. Go to the parish website, click the SVDP Holiday Program button, and follow the directions to donate online. You have been very generous in supporting us throughout the year, and we cannot thank you enough. We would appreciate your help with the Thanksgiving Program. Thank you!

October 26th at 3:30 pm St Catherine's is participating in the Maple Leaf Neighborhood Halloween Parade, which is sponsored by the Maple Leaf Community Council and neighborhood merchants. The parade starts at Maple Leaf Park at 3:30 pm, and the kids trick or treat around the neighborhood. The parade of kids returns to the park east along NE 85th Street, so it is a great opportunity for us to highlight our St C and NESCC community and show the neighborhood we are more than a chain-link fence and parking lot! We need at least four volunteers to hand out candy. Talk about a sweet gig! Please email Parish Council member Katie Fleming asap if you can help [email protected]. It should be a hoot!
