Everyone's favorite weekend of the year is just around the corner! Click here for some exciting news for the big weekend now less than two months away, including the brand new Golden Ticket.

SVdP needs volunteers to make weather-proof canvas toiletry bags for homeless people. All ages can help cut, mark, and/or sew the bags!

Deacon Don Tienter will preach all Masses this weekend to share the work of our society, and there will be a second collection at each. Please be generous so we can continue our help to the poor in 2022.

Do you have a special connection that can help create an amazing experience package? Do you have a talent that you'd be willing to share as a service donation? Can your company donate one of these items? Can you and some friends team up to provide an item on our wish list? If so, please sign up to donate!
