Society of St. Vincent de Paul

At St. Francis of Assisi(SFA), our St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) group regularly receives requests to assist other San Antonio SVdP groups with their needy situations.

Recently, the SVdP group from Mission Espada/St. Francis Cabrini had a request for financial assistance to help one of their needy families build a wheelchair ramp to accommodate the husband’s disability (double leg amputee).

After roadblocks with other agencies, the family approached SVdP. A request for help was distributed to the other local SVdP’s and we at SFA pledged $200 for materials. While other SVdP’s covered the remaining expense, we also approached our Habitat for Humanity of San Antonioteam at SFA and they joined in to supply the muscle.

Mission accomplished!

Thanks to all for putting the "Word" into action; and thanks to all who contribute to these two SFA ministries with your time and financial support.
