Periodically, our SVdP group at

some of the clients we help in our
Home Visit Ministry.
Everyone is welcome

a person in need, or have a conversation with
someone who might be lonely.
Her husband left her, taking custody of their children.
She continued in this trajectory for several years. She
was not allowed access to her girls, she became
homeless and, eventually, lived on the streets.
At the bottom of this spiral, she found help through Union
Gospel Mission and, over time, worked her way back to
the woman she once was. She has a good relationship
with her husband and has her daughters every weekend.
What she needed from our SVdP Conference was
$100.00 to meet her rent payment for that month. We
provided that and other information to help her avoid this
predicament again. Through the help of Union Gospel
Mission (and the Saint Vincent de Paul at HSP), she has
just begun working on a degree in Social Services at a
local community college. She intends to pay back the
community by working for a non-profit agency focusing
her skills on the poor. A success story!
We start every home visit with a prayer before meeting
with the client. We ask our Father to provide all that we
need as we do His work. Our hope is to give our clients
not only material goods, but also our love and blessing.
The families or individuals we help are not only former
drug addicts or prison inmates who have served their
time and are now trying to change their lives for the
better. We also help many families struggling to provide
for their children.
It is a wonderful feeling of satisfaction and happiness
when our clients express their gratitude for what we have
done to help them, whether it’s materially or spiritually.
Thank you to our Holy Spirit Parish community for your
generous donations to the St. Vincent de Paul Society
each first Sunday of the month. You make all of this
possible.

HOLY SPIRIT PARISH / PARROQUIA DEL ESPÍRITU SANTO
Rest in peace
Please pray for the soul of Nancy Rose (Sanders) Larson. She was born in Orillia, WA in 1951. She married Martin
Larson and happily had two children. An athlete all of her life, she competed in seven Ironman Triathlons and was
a member of the RTB triathlon group.
Please remember Marty, Tim, Dawn and the rest of the family in your prayers. May God comfort them as they go
through this difficult time. Her funeral will be in the chapel Wednesday, Feb. 3rd at 10:30am.
Please pray for the soul of long-time parishioner, Norma Feuerborn, wife of John Feuerborn. Until illness prevented
her attendance, she was a fixture in the short pew by the font at our 5pm Mass. Gifted with a beautiful voice,
Norma sang and played the organ for many years at the parish and at Marlatt Funeral Home.
God, a husband, 9
children, 20 grandchildren and 5 great grandchildren were the main points of joy and happiness in Norma’s life.
Please keep John and the entire family in your prayers. May God hold them in the palm of His hands.
Please pray for the soul of Darlene Portmann. She and Frank have been long-time parishioners. A loving mother
and wife, she will be missed. Please keep the family lifted in your prayers and may they feel God’s loving embrace.
Please pray for the soul of Irene Pascuzzi. Please also include in your prayers her
brother, Jerry, who has been a parishioner for many years. May he feel God’s love
as he travels this road of loss.
Descansa en paz

Por favor, oren por el alma de Norma Feuerborn, esposa de John Feuerborn. Hasta que la enfermedad impidió su
asistencia, iba a nuestra Misa de las 5:00pm. Dotado de una voz hermosa, Norma cantaba y tocaba el órgano
durante muchos años en St. Anthony (Espíritu Santo) y en Marlatt Funeraria . Dios, un marido, 9 hijos, 20 nietos y 5
bisnietos fueron los principales puntos de la alegría y la felicidad en la vida de Norma.
Se le recuerda John y toda la familia en sus oraciones. Que Dios los sostenga en la palma de sus manos.

un feligrés durante muchos años. Que él sienta el amor de Dios mientras viaja este camino de la pérdida.
