Friends and Neighbors,
As we enter into the new year of 2026, it seems appropriate that we also welcome the beginning of our SVdP newsletters! We hope to share the fruits of this ministry with you as well as other items that may be of interest. At this time, we are busy with so many things during this season of preparations and celebrations. At SVdP, we want to extend our gratitude to all who have contributed in assisting our friends and neighbors in need during this holiday season.
Because of your kindness, families in our area have received food, warmth, and hope during times of need. Your donations, volunteer hours, prayers, and encouragement remind us that the spirit of Christmas is alive and well through acts of love and service.
As we approach this new year, let us reflect on how we can make a meaningful difference in the lives of others and ourselves. May this year bring you peace, joy, and time with those you love. We at SVdP wish you a blessed and hopeful new year.
With most sincere thanks and warm wishes,
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul—Good Shepherd Conference
