On behalf of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul I thank all of our members, volunteers, employees and supporters for all that you do for the Society and for those we serve.

I know that the demands on everyone seem to grow daily and I can only encourage you to continue the wonderful work that you do.

Our annual report is a testimony to the good work that is being done throughout our diocese for the poor.

Our Conferences, pantries, kitchens and financial aid programs have aided thousands of people this past year. We again have been true to our Mission to feed the hungry, clothe the naked, visit the sick and imprisoned and do it all in the name of Jesus.

May God bless all of you and may he continue to give us the strength and resources to continue our Mission today and for many years to come.
