St. Vincent de Paul Society…
The St. Vincent de Paul Group at St. John's reaches out to those who have serious financial problems because of medical expenses,  heating bills,  car repairs, rent, etc.  We have been able to  help some avoid becoming homeless. Priority is given to members of our parish. During 2002, $8520.00 was paid out for these various requests.  Sixteen contacts were made.  We often give referrals to other  agencies in the area.  Gasoline, bus and Cub  vouchers are also given when needed.
     If you would like to part of this charitable group, please call Bill at (763) 574-0218 or Carole at (651) 639-9103
