ST VINCENT DE PAUL THANKS YOU. We visited a woman who needed rent help. Working as a supervisor full-time but at a minimum hourly rate, she had been told by her manager six months before that she was getting a raise “effective immediately.” The raise never showed up. When asked about it, the manager seemed to stall and had no good explanation. Then it was announced that the company had been bought by another company, where the woman previously worked. Knowing the new owners, she gave up hoping for her promised raise. We were sorry to hear this story of broken promises, but – with your help – were glad to assist with rent. Thank you! Information, Bob Clifford at 206-718-4158 or bobclifford53@gmail.com YOUNG ADULT THIRD SUNDAY SOCIAL. Join other Catholics in their 20s and 30s next Sunday, August 19, after the 5:30 Sunday Mass.
