CORRECTION In the Oct. 4 edition of the Gulf Pine Catholic , a press release was published announcing the opening of a new St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store in Ocean Springs. The press release mentioned that the new store will be the first to open on the Mississippi Gulf Coast. In fact, the first St. Vincent de Paul Thrift Store to open on the Mississippi Gulf Coast was at Our Lady of Victories Church in Pascagoula over 20 years ago. Pray for all those who are suffering from the results of hurricanes, earthquakes, COVID-19 and war. Pray for peace on earth!
