From the Organizer
Join Us for the Friends of the Poor® Walk
Hosted by the Society of St. Vincent de Paul
St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church • Cedar Park, Texas
"Alone we can do little. Together, we do more."
As we gather in September, near the feast day of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam and the founding of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, we invite you to walk with us in a spirit of faith, solidarity, and compassion.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Margaret Mary Catholic Church serves individuals and families facing poverty, hardship, and unexpected crises within our community. Through person-to-person encounters, we strive not only to provide material assistance but also to share the hope, dignity, and love of Christ with every neighbor we serve.
The need continues to grow, and your participation in the Friends of the Poor® Walk directly supports our ministry to neighbors in need. Together, we can bring comfort to those who are struggling and become living witnesses of Christ's mercy.
