St Vincent de Paul Society Reaches Out to Poor

Almsgiving is a familiar Lenten practice but two St. Vincent de Paul Societies in the Diocese of Superior depend on it year-round to fund good works.

In the city of Superior, a society was organized in 1959 to care for its needy. On the southeastern edge of the diocese, Merrill citizens formed a St. Vincent's just three years ago but with solid community support it easily took off and has already made its mark.

In addition to these Superior and Merrill societies, members of St. Therese of Lisieux Parish in Phillips recently mounted an effort to establish its own St. Vincent's. Superior Catholic Herald
