Estamos organizando una reunión bilingüe via zoom el domingo 25 de abril a las 3:00 pm, para renovar nuestros compromisos con la Sociedad. El evento será gravado para que las personas que no puedan asistir a la reunión pueden verla y escucharla más tarde.

Aquí esta la invitación! Esperamos contar con su presencia.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul: Moving Mountains with Canned Goods | Franciscan Media When a classmate challenged Blessed Frédéric Ozanam to put his faith into action in 1833, he took it to heart. Today his legacy lives on through this organization.
