Kerrville Flood Relief Through the St. Vincent de Paul Society

I am a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. I planned on beginning to share with readers how it has thrown me out of my comfort zone in a way that has deepened my faith. 

However, this morning I received an email from the Dallas Council about how we can help our neighbors who have suffered so much from the flash flooding.

This comes first.

The Kerrville Conference is in the thick of it, helping with clothing, food, and more. You can donate here.

The council's statement is moving and inspiring. I include it below:

We stand in awe of the power of nature. We stand in horror of the devastation wrought by the flash floods in Central Texas on July 4.

We cannot stand on the sidelines and do nothing.

We do not have the skills and tools to make a real difference in the recovery effort. We can still make a difference.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Conference at Notre Dame Parish in Kerrville is taking the lead in helping residents and visitors with food, clothing and other necessities.

You can join in helping them serve their neighbors in need by making a contribution to the Notre Dame Conference by clicking here.

And just as importantly, we pray with those affected by the flash flooding. We pray for the safety of those who survived, we pray for those who perished, and we hold the grieving families in our hearts that God’s loving heart will fill them with consolation at this time of unimaginable loss.
