Will need to have a replacement organization to help the poor and needy. Any ideas?

You know, I sure don’t. I do my charitable giving locally just helping people who are having a hard time. I actually get to see their eyes light up and some of them even cry. I also learn who the professional poor people are and avoid them.

Have you ever heard of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.

They take no money whatsoever from the Bishops’ and Cardinals’ funds, only the poor box and private donations. They receive no money from the government. They work with Government Social Service Agencies and with private charities.

All their members are volunteers. They work in small councils throughout the world providing help for the needy and providing spiritual comfort to the afflicted.

They visit the poorest of the poor in the worst neighborhoods and pray with individuals and families and provide assistance.

They are looked down upon and ignored by the paid bureaucrats of leftist groups funded by the Catholic Church.

My parish started a group we called People Helping People. Folks with unneeded or unwanted furniture donate, needy people receive. We have a groups of guys with trucks and trailers to transport the items, a couple of storage facilities to handle overflow, and lots of happy families that now have furnished apartments as opposed to empty rooms with maybe a folding chair.

This has now been expanded to be a city-wide organization.
