The monthly collection of donations for St. Vincent de Paul will be after all Masses this weekend, November 24-25. We are especially in need of gently used or new blankets. Other household items, such as sheets, dishes, glasses, pots & pans, etc., are always appreciated. Please call Randy Bedore at 262-617-0910 for pick-up of larger items. Thank you for your generous support.
This month’s Love Story:
A memorable experience for my wife and I was a home visit with a mother and her twelve-year-old daughter. The two had recently moved to a new apartment. The apartment was more than sparse with only a few pieces of furniture and one old mattress on the floor. We prayed together and got to know their wishes and needs. Mom was working and going to school and was thrilled to obtain bus passes for her long trek to school. Mom was very appreciative for the assistance in getting two beds and a working stove and to hear about the laundry day option and information with respect to obtaining clothing for her daughter.
At our second visit we brought much needed bedding, household goods and a kitchen table and chairs. The daughter’s wish was for chapter books to read, and upon receiving a set of chapter books from us, the daughter exclaimed, “This is the best day of my life!” It seemed like we helped in a small way to make the place a bit more like a home.
We have recently been contacted again by Mom to tell us that she and her daughter have to move because the landlord is unable or unwilling to effectively rid the place of bed bugs. This is another sign of how difficult life can be for those on the margins. The good news is Mom continues to be optimistic and very grateful.
