Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a worldwide Catholic lay organization, leads men and women to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Fredric Ozanam, and patron St. Vincent de Paul. Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and justice.
The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served, because in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
The St. Vincent de Paul – St. Philip Neri Conference responds to calls for help within our parish boundaries by person-to-person visits providing material aid such as food, rent, and utility assistance where indicated. Members meet twice monthly on the first and third Thursdays in the Parish Center for prayer and case discussions.
The District Society of St. Vincent de Paul supported by our Conference has stores for the needy throughout our area, that stock donated items including furniture, household articles, and clothing given freely or sold at minimal prices, and operates a food pantry, all largely staffed by volunteers.
