THANK YOU!  THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

The St. Charles Borromeo Conference of St. Vincent DePaul is deeply grateful for the support we received for the Friends of the Poor Walk!  We were blessed with a day that was cool, but not cold and was cloudy but not raining!  For the first time since we began walking with our Christian neighbors here in Hampshire, we had over 100 walkers just from SCB!  There was a very joyful spirit at Seyller Park that day!   We are grateful for the generosity of all those who donated to the walk.  We are also grateful for the businesses in the area who supported the walk with cash donations or gift cards and prizes for the raffle.  Many parishioners contributed baskets to be raffled as well.  And, of course, we had the beautiful quilt made by Jan Bray and donated by her husband in her memory.  We had the assistance of three very capable young ladies who chose to help with the walk as their Confirmation service.  In addition to members of our conference,  several SCB parishioners assisted with set up and clean up, registration, and the sale of raffle tickets.  Because of this generous response, our conference will be able to assist many friends in need in our area.   Thank you!
