1 mile walk to benefit the Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Albert the Great Catholic Church in Austin TX on Saturday, September 26 (Feast Day of St. Vincent de Paul is September 27).  This is our 8th Annual Walk.  Your donations will enable us to raise additional funds so we can help those calling for financial assistance.  They need help paying the rent or the light bill.  They may have been unable to work due to illness, experiencing lost/reduced work hours or had an unexpected expense.  Walk in person 1 mile with us or repeat the course to walk additional miles to show your support for our cause to serve the poor! You may also walk virtually at any time or place of your choice.  After the walk, we will have breakfast, fellowship and fun.  Check in starts at 8 am.  Walk starts at 8:30 am.  At 9:15 we will have a presentation to hear more about the work of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.  Our door prize drawings will start at 9:30 am. Must be present to win.
