ST. VINCENT DE PAUL Today as we celebrate Christ

the King, may we open the

door of our heart so wide

that we may listen to the

voice of Jesus calling us to

help build His kingdom here

on earth.

Last year through your gifts,

the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was able to help

build the kingdom of God by assisting 376 house-

holds in Minot. One third of those we helped

were homeless. Thank You!
