Who Is My Neighbor?

“And who is my neighbor?” This quote prompted the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 29-37) which was a story of special personal significance to Frederic Ozanam, founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. This parable asks us to stop and think about our brothers and sisters in need.  We are asked to look to our brothers and sisters in the world and to see the face of Jesus in them. Our neighbor is the one in need, the one who looks to us with hope and faith, the one who hopes for Christ. Do I see Christ in the face of my neighbor– and does my neighbor see the face of Christ in me?  Do you feel the calling to help those who are less fortunate? Do you ever ask yourself “I wish I could help?”. Well, you can! No matter of your age or your skill if you have a few hours a month to spare join the Society of St. Vincent De Paul at our parish. If you are interested in making a difference and would like to find out more of what we do, please call us at 905-875-7995 or email us at ssvp.stbenedictsconference@gmail.com .

Message from Society of Saint Vincent de Paul
Christmastime can be stressful for many families and this year is no exception. We have reached out and the need is still there – maybe more than ever. With the challenge many families are facing it is more important than ever to do all we can to support our neighbours in need. And while this year’s Angels program may look different, the mission is still the same – to provide support to families, children and seniors in need.
Due to safety concerns regarding COVID-19, our 2020 Angel Program has changed. To keep things as “contactless” as possible we are asking parishioners to donate money online, which we will use to purchase gift cards for families.
Please visit Halton Particular Council website and click Donate and select St Benedict – Milton (http://ssvphaltonpc.org/Donate.htm)
The Society would also ask that you keep these children and their families and the seniors in your prayers this Christmas. Thank you for your generous support to this program!
