Coat and Boot Drive
BRRRR!! With the arrival of the cooler temps, it’s time to make sure that your family has winter clothes that fit…AND time to donate the gently used coats, jackets, sweaters, long underwear, gloves, mittens, hats, boots, and shoes that could be better used by someone else! Please take the time to clean out your closets and bag up your extra or out-grown items. September 27th-October 8th, donations will be accepted by the flag pole and by the main entrance at drop-off and pick-up. Please include your children by having them deliver the bagged donations to our drop zones so they feel included in helping us serve those in need love! Donations will be going to Denver Rescue Mission and the Samaritan House.
Altar Server Training for Weekend Masses
The Altar Server Ministry got off to a fabulous start at the end of last year. We know it will just keep growing and getting better but we need you to do that. If your family attends Mass at St. Vincent’s on the weekends and you have a 4th grade or older child who is interested in serving at Mass, Father Hilton will have a training just for them. It will be September 21st from 2:00-3:30. Pizza will be served.
Please contact Beth Riviere at beth@saintvincents.org to register for a space. If your child attended the spring training, it is not necessary for him/her to attend this one. However, please send Beth an email to let her know you would like your child to be on the altar server schedule for the fall. Please remember, this training is only for students wanting to serve at weekend Masses. Students wanting to serve at school Masses will be trained at another time
