There will be gift bags handed out after Saturday/Sunday Masses on November 21/22, and November 29/30. 
Please fill and return these gift bags to the front of the Parish Altar any time before December 20th.

Here is a list of suggested items:

Cereal
-  Canned Peas
- Peanut Butter
- Canned Pasta (Like Chef Boyardee)
- Canned Mixed Vegetables
- Mac and Cheese
- Canned Fruit
- Canned Tomatoes
- Canned Tuna
- Dessert Mix
- Applesauce
- Drinking Boxes (i.e. Juice Boxes)

If you do not have the funds to contribue items or gift cards, prayers are very much appreciated, especially in the following ways:
- For the homeless in our community and beyond
- For all who are unemployed or underemployed
- Those who are living in war torn countries
- For peace throughout the world
- For those suffering with addiction(s)
- Those who are sick
- Those who have no one to pray for them
- For St. Margaret's Parishioners

For any questions, please contact the Society of St. Vincent de Paul on Tuesday's and Wednesday's, from 10:00am-11:30am, at 705-526-7585
Or speak to one of the St. Vincent de Paul representatives after Saturday and Sunday Mass, starting the 1st weekend of Advent. 

Thank you for your ongoing generosity and prayers.  We wish you all a very Merry Christmas from all of the SVDP volunteers!
