The focus of this collection will be helping those in our community struggling with rent and utility issues plus assisting those living in temporary housing find affordable housing in the aftermath of the pandemic and economic fluctuations. The Black Bags will be passed around immediately following the regular collection during the offertory portion of the Mass. If you miss this collection opportunity, please feel free to place your donation in the Poor Box or in the collection basket (make checks out to SVdP), or visit the website at: https://stmarkplano.org/donate … and designate SVdP in the “Designate your gift to” dropdown. Thank You for your continuing generosity to this shared mission. Please keep our ministry and neighbors in your prayers. The SVdP ministry has immediate need for advocates to help us in our calling to help the poor. Please call 972-282-8077 to sign up for any of these activities.
