Let no one ever come to you without leaving happier.” “The fruit of silence is prayer, the fruit of prayer is faith, the fruit of faith is love, the fruit of love is service and the fruit of service is peace.” “Some people come in our life as blessings. Some come in your life as lessons.” You all are blessings to us and those we serve! Thank you for your donation for the St. Vincent de Paul Society.
