Revealing the Unseen
A behind-the-scenes look at daily life at St. Vincent de Paul
Michelangelo comes to Phoenix A replica of Michelangelo’s Pieta was installed in the Virginia G. Piper Chapel of our Phoenix Dining Room, where guests can spend time in reflection. It was made from a mold of the original, which is in Saint Peter’s Basilica in Vatican City. A blessing was led by Bishop Thomas J. Olmsted in October. Photo courtesy of Kevin Therinault.
Costumes for Kids Volunteer Sabrina Ramirez hosted her sixth annual Halloween costume event in our Family Dining Room this year. She collected over 800 costumes! Racks of costumes were set up for children to “shop” with volunteers so they can put together the perfect outfit for Halloween. Giving Thanks We served over 4,000 Thanksgiving meals in our five dining rooms. Roasted turkey, mashed potatoes, green beans and assorted pies were on the menu. Thanks to generous corporate partners like The Macy’s Foundation, Phoenix Suns Charities and John C Lincoln Gives, who support our dining rooms, we are able to serve fresh and healthful meals to hungry families on Thanksgiving and every day of the year.
Delivering School Spirit The Southeastern Conference Alumni Club hosted its second food drive for St. Vincent de Paul. The club members collected more than 1,000 pounds of food, beating last year’s record of 800 pounds.
