SVdP is looking for a few dedicated and enthusiastic adult volunteers to become JGB leaders!

Volunteers are expected to join 10 meetings, every other Monday from 7-8pm starting October til March. The role of the parent volunteer is to guide the discussion of the chosen book and encourage students to think for themselves.

SVDP Serves
On Wednesday, 9/27, we will celebrate both the feast day of St. Vincent de Paul as well as SVdP Serves Commissioning Day. The morning will begin with all school mass to celebrate the life of our patron saint who dedicated himself to the poor. The students will then return to their classroom where a representative from each agency we serve throughout the year will speak about their mission and how our SVdP students will partner with them.
Our next meeting is Tuesday, October 3rd at 8am in the parish office dining room. All are welcome!
Finally, the 6th grade will run our Fall Coat and Boot Drive. Your mission, should you choose to accept, will be to donate used coats and boots for men, women and children during the dates of 9/25-10/10. Items will be collected at pick up and drop off. Donations will benefit Samaritan House and Denver Rescue Mission.
Any questions, please email- svdpserves@gmail.com
