These would remain there throughout the month as we continue to call to mind those who have gone before us in the faith. 2018 Disasters Emergency Collection The frequency of traumatic weather events has necessitated an annual appeal for financial assistance in meeting needs generated by the effects of these storms, most recently in the southern United States.

If you are contributing by check, please make it payable to St. Vincent’s with the notation “Disaster Collection” on the memo line. The parish will send one check in to Catholic Charities.

The 31st in ordinary time~ November 4 2018 Homeless Action Committee: On November 19 th following the 11 am Mass, parishioners are invited to join with our youth to learn more about homelessness, how to prevent it and how we can work to ensure the dignity of all people to have safe, clean ‘home’ of their own. Janet Douglas representing the Homeless Action Committee ( HAC ) will speak about the work of HAC to provide support and outreach services to people who live on the streets of Albany. The HAC Outreach Van program, has assisted hundreds of people by providing them with compassionate human contact, a listening ear, food, clothing, blankets, referrals and transportation to area resources. Following the talk our youth will prepare snack bags to be distributed by the HAC Van volunteers.

The Creation Care Team Presents: Faith Based Environmentalism Love God? Love the Earth? So do a lot of people! Putting those two loves together should not be a challenge, and yet it can be for people who put their own convenience or desires ahead of caring for God’s creation as we are called to do. Change will happen when we are morally compelled to do so. Being examples of that change is our next step as faith-filled people. There is strength in community, however, and when more and more people follow the path of stewardship, it becomes easier for others to find. No matter where you are in your life, there are people just like you who incorporate our world’s health into their everyday existence. Would you like to meet them? St.Vincent’s Creation Care Team, a branch of the Social Justice committee believe caring for the Earth and those in need are from the same tree. In the scant two years of existence we have organized community earth-based activities for our church, measured our church’s carbon footprint (how much carbon our buildings’ energy systems put into the atmosphere), helped sign up our church for community solar electricity (reducing our carbon footprint by about 40%), reached out to other people to form a wider network, and more. All are welcome. Contact Barbara DiTommaso at
[email protected] There is a capital district interfaith environmental group. It just started this year and is called the Capital Region Interfaith Creation Care Coalition. We are bringing together people of all beliefs who share a commitment to helping our community deal with climate change and other important green issues of our time. Jump in at the ground level and spread the word to other faith communities you know. Contact David Cullen at
[email protected] World-wide there are many organizations with a faithgrounded reason to support environmental legislation, events, and help everyday people improve their lives. Here are just a few to check out: Catholic Climate Covenant: Care for creation. Care for the poor. GreenFaith: Interfaith Partners for the environment. Interfaith Power and Light: A religious response to global warming. National Religious Partnership for the Environment: Bringing green faith groups together. Creation Justice Ministries: Taking legislative action for the environment.
