St Vincent de Paul

Dear San Ysidro Parishioners, 

In past years you have been extremely generous in donating food and money to San Ysidro’s St. Vincent de Paul Society conference to underwrite our mission to help neighbors in need. 

As the holiday season approaches, we want to continue – again with your financial backing – to help those in our community most in need to celebrate a very Holy and Merry Christmas. 

This year as the undercurrent of concerns about Covid 19 persists, we plan to stay with the pandemic-era program of distributing grocery-store food cards instead of nonperishable food that you previously donated between Thanksgiving and Christmas. 

To make this work, your generosity again is essential. You our parishioners, the heartbeat of this program, last year donated nearly $6,500. Nearly 80 neighbors benefitted from your generosity. 

The St. Vincent de Paul Christmas food distribution day, an annual celebration day of giving, is set this year for Dec. 16 at Hendren Hall. Food cards, with amounts determined by the number of family members, will allow recipients themselves to purchase what they need as a family. 

Their gratitude to you is overwhelming. 

Again, we humbly ask that checks be written to St. Vincent de Paul, with the words “Christmas Basket” noted on the check’s lower left corner. Cash also is gratefully accepted. Enclosed you will find a postage-paid envelope for you to return your donation. Any amount will help.  

St. Vincent de Paul at San Ysidro is a small band of parishioners – we are always seeking new members – part of a worldwide organization whose mission is to help the poor in our community. Our goal is to lend a hand-up, helping neighbors get over a financial hurdle sometimes caused by unexpected hardship such as illness or job loss.  

Your generous donations keep us in business and, prayerfully, we strive to be good stewards who make solid judgments without being judgmental of those whom we serve. Last year you donated $23,800 and helped more than 100 Corrales-area neighbors. 

Somewhat happily, we had another decline in requests for help this past year. Because calls to our conference decreased during the Covid years of tax rebates and generous social service benefits, in the spirit of our society we “twinned” with parishes far more needy than ours. We also donated to St. Felix Panty to which we point neighbors seeking help with  obtaining food. 

But those days of relative plenty have ended now in the new era of high inflation and diminished benefits. In the past month alone, our San Ysidro conference has answered five calls for assistance for runaway utility bills, food, truck repair and cremation interment – and expects many more as the cold weather sets in to clash with ever higher heating costs. 

In your partnership with the St. Vincent de Paul Society we thank you for all your financial help of past years and continue to seek your generosity as we approach this Christmas season. And equal to our appeal for help with your hard-earned money, we seek your prayers to grant all of us wisdom in our joint stewardship. To you and your families, a Blessed and Merry Christmas. 

Gratefully yours in Christ, 

Tim Coder, president; Denny McSweeney, Christmas program co-coordinator;  Ollie Reed, vice-president; Terri Reagan, treasurer; Monica Coder, secretary; Patty Snipes, Christmas program co-coordinator; Michelle Varela, technology administrator;  Dolores Tafoya, Jake de Herrera, Drina Perez, Alberta Wester

“Over the past several months, Pope Francis has been reminding the Church again and again about the importance of Eucharistic adoration—especially the silence of adoration. Why is silence so critical? Because it is the sacred space where the Holy Spirit works within us individually and among us as the Body of Christ.” Taken from the Eucharist Revival written by Sister Alicia.
In August, the pope noted, “Filling with tenderness the wounds and voids produced by sin in man and society, begins by getting down on one’s knees before Jesus in the Consecrated Host, and remaining there for a long time.”
