Merry Christmas Season! Truly a time for Joy and Thankfulness and Giving!
The SMOS St. Vincent de Paul Society has kicked off its annual giving season going on now through the end of the year! We are confident the St. Margaret’s family will give generously again to the efforts to raise money to help our Neighbors in Need weather the winter ahead. Throughout the holiday season (until 12/31), we are asking for your donations to help us provide assistance throughout the winter to those who ask for our help.
Our community’s needs continue more than ever.
Please join us in our ministry of helping our Neighbors in Need!
Your generous donations last year helped us provide the following so far in 2024:
- Almost $23,000 in Rent assistance to over 60 neighbors;
- Nearly $39,000 to keep utilities on in over 300 homes;
- $7200 in vouchers to the SVdP Thrift Store for beds/clothing/household needs;
- $1100 in Ruler gift cards for those unable to utilize the Isaiah 58 Ministries pantry.
We hope to raise $25,000 this year to replenish funds & continue this important work. We know you want to help!
How You Can Donate
- Special “Christmas Outreach” envelopes are in pews; place cash or checks (made payable to SVdP) in the envelope and give it to our “Elves” in back of church after all Masses; envelopes may also be dropped in the Rectory mailbox if you miss an Elf.

Our St. Margaret’s family always meets the challenge to help others. Together we can do as we always do – help those who seek our help in times of need – they know the St. Margaret’s family is there for them! Thank You For Giving!! And Merry Christmas!!
