Preserving our Faith
Since launching this unique ministry, hundreds-of-thousands of blessed and unblessed religious articles have found their way to the faithful in the Twin Cities and across the world.
The rich tradition of giving and receiving Catholic religious articles leaves many of us with far more items than we need. Now, those crucifixes, pictures and Rosary beads squirrelled away in a shoebox, have a home at St. Vincent de Paul. The donated items we accept are cleaned and, if needed, refurbished before being redistributed, free-of-charge, at Catholic and community events or shipped to missions worldwide.
