and learn more about the works of the Society of Saint
Vincent de Paul in St. Louis.
November

3:30pm
Be there!
bella won top
honors at the 2006 Toronto Film Festival when it took home
the People’s Choice Award--beating Academy Award nominated
films Last King of Scotland and Babel. Bella
tells the story of a young waitress struggling with an
unexpected pregnancy and the loss of her job when a single
day spent with a man she hardly knew saves three lives.
The
values featured in bella, selfless-giving,
love, and faith, were also demonstrated by a young Catholic
college student, Fredric Ozanam. He started the Society of
Saint Vincent de Paul when he was challenged by a fellow
student to “show us your works and we will believe you.”
The
challenge exists daily, “What is your Church doing now? What
is she doing for the poor? Show us your works and we will
believe you.” |
