EIM WORKSHOP | All clergy and paid staff, and all

volunteers working with youth and vulnerable adults, at any parish or diocesan location, are required to complete a onetime Application for Ministry prior to beginning their work/ service and attend an EIM workshop within 60 days of submitting the application. An ENGLISH EIM Workshop will be held Saturday, May 13 at 10 a.m. in Wozniak Hall – arrive promptly as the workshop will start on time and late arrivals will not be permitted entrance. Directions on how to pre-register or submit an application can be found at www.stlouis.org/eim COLLECTION FOR THE NATIONAL SHRINE OF THE IMMACULATE CONCEPTION will be held on May 13-14.

The U.S. Bishops have approved this special one-time collection to support the completion of the Trinity Dome, the crowning jewel of the Basilica. The National Shrine has been almost a century in the making, since its foundation stone was laid in 1920. Known as Mary’s Shrine, and as America’s Catholic Church, it is an authentic reflection of the diversity of cultures and ethnicities in the U.S., evidenced in the more than 80 chapels and oratories dedicated to Our Blessed Mother. This great Marian shrine exists today because of the generosity of American Catholics and Clergy, the prayers of the faithful and the hard work of the artisans and laborers who began building it nearly 100 years ago. Since this collection is the same weekend as our Parish Social Ministry 2nd collection, we ask that you use your Basilica envelope from your packets and place that in the regular first collection along with your tithes and offerings to St. Louis. Thank you for your generosity!

YOUR ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY

made 7 home visits during the week ending on Mar 28. We helped 5 families with rent and 2 families with utilities. We also gave out HEB cards, bus passes; and clothing vouchers for the thrift store. We are one of the many social ministries here at St. Louis. Our primary source of income is from the Social Ministries collection, which is taken up on the second Sunday of each month. These donations support the many ministries under the Social Ministries umbrella. We receive those donations that are explicitly directed to us. We also receive income from the Poor Box in the Narthex, from other more affluent parish SVDP conferences, from a monthly collection taken up among our members, and from generous friends. We limit our help for each family to once every 12 months, but the needs of the poor in our parish is still greater than we can meet.

We do what we can to help everyone who asks. When next you are buying gift cards in the Narthex to support our school, we ask that you also consider buying an extra $20-25 HEB card and dropping it in the box for SVDP. Thank-you for your support.
