Food Drive & Fr. Paul Farewell
August 8
2:30 PM - 4:30 PM | Parish Parking Lot
No-contact collection. You won't have to get out of your car.
Drop off your Food Drive donations and drive by the bell tower to wish Fr. Paul farewell at the same time!
Since not all of us can say good-bye to Fr. Paul in person, we thought a drive-by sendoff would be a great idea. Make your posters, honk your horns, and wish him well on his next adventure!
Cards for Fr. Paul
Let's show Fr. Paul how much we'll miss him! Share your well wishes by mailing him a card (4491 Springfield Road) or dropping off a card in the basket in the Commons!

Exciting News - Vincent's Pantry!
Our Society of St. Vincent de Paul Conference has established a food pantry right here in our parish!
SVdP needs to increase our ability to serve those in need in our area.
We will soon begin to provide much needed nonperishable food and important supplies to our friends in Christ who we serve.
Our plan is to slowly begin offering our Vincent's Pantry services by the end of August or soon thereafter.
To stock Vincent's Pantry, a pantry collection rack will be present every day in the Commons to collect your donations.
We are confident that we can continue to count on your generosity through your donations to our Vincent's Pantry!
**Our Food Pantry will be in addition to our continuing efforts to help the Our Lady of Lourdes Food Pantry through the monthly Food Drive with the help of the Knights of Columbus .**

Truck Needed
Can You Help?
Because of our growing range of services and our desire to reach out to further serve our friends in need, we are looking for a small used delivery truck.
We need a used, dependable, well maintained (non-CDL) light delivery truck for immediate use. (One that does not need repairs, please.)
Interested in donating a truck or selling one to us at a very special price?

Theology on Tap

7:20 PM - 8:30 PM
Join us as we chat with Sister Emily Beata Marsh, representing the Daughters of St. Paul, The Media Nuns, about the life of St. Paul.
Hear how his experience applies to us in 2020 and gain ideas for growing in our walk with God.
Sister Marsh is the Vocations Director for the Daughters of St. Paul, an order of nuns who love to share the joy of Christ to others through social media and who run the Catholic bookstore Pauline Media.

From bank executive to religious sister, conversion can truly turn your life upside down. This change is rooted in discernment. Sister Josephine crafts a beautiful message of vocation and the need to accept the daily offering of our God for purposes and sharing the mission. This talk will challenge, invite, and inspire viewers to rethink the need for conversion and the path of healthy discernment.
