Do you wonder how SVdP here at St. Clare spends the money that you donate to us throughout the year?  There are many uses of course, but we often find ourselves helping neighbors purchase appliances--particularly refrigerators and stoves, and sometimes washers and dryers. Not all landlords provide appliances these days, and the cost of moving them from one residence to the next is prohibitive for some families, so we assist with appliances more often than you might think...

High energy bills can be a “budget buster” for individuals and families living on a limited income.  St. Vincent de Paul has been providing funds via the Michigan Energy Assistance Program (MEAP) to help people out of shut-off.  Here at St. Clare,  volunteers have been writing grant applications since October and having access to funds that keep their utilities on has been quite a blessing to the eligible applicants.

Did you know that there is place in our church where books on a variety of topics such as prayer, spirituality, the saints and faith formation, to name but a few, are located?  It is located in the Mack Avenue vestibule and can be used at any time the church is open.  Winter can be an inviting time to be quiet, read and reflect upon our lives as Christians in this New Year. Take a look and perhaps you will be able to find something for yourself. Also remember there is a lot more on the Formed platform.
