St Gertrude’s St Vincent de Paul Society wishes to thank the wonderful parishioners and friends for their generous support of money and non-perishable items. As always our people are willing to extend a hand to our brothers and sisters in need. We provide assistance to anyone needing help, no matter what religion, race or background. Whether you live in St. Charles or Lafourche, you are part of our family when in need. As we prepare for Easter food basket time we are in need of stuffing mix, cans of gravy, instant potatoes, yams, dirty rice mix, marshmallows, and cake mix and icing. Any donations can be dropped off in the rear of the church.
