At St. Andrew's the loose plate offerings on the last Sunday of each month are given to an organization chosen by our Outreach Committee. Donations for the Last Sunday Offering can also be sent directly to the office.
September Recipient: St. Vincent's Center, Haiti, for earthquake and storm victims. Following the devastation St. Vincent's Center, known throughout that country for its medical care of the poor and its school for deaf/blind and/or handicapped students, immediately began using its medical personnel and other resources to give aid where most needed. And they continue to do so. Our gifts will support this work. The need is now, and for months in the future.
