What we do
Members of the Society are known as "Vincentians," after our patron, St. Vincent de Paul. Vincentians are organized into "Conferences," a group of volunteers who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those in need. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. Type of assistance include: food, rent, utilities, homeless shelters, summer camp, emergency transportation, back-to-school supplies/uniforms, furniture, education, disaster relief, elder visit. "No work of charity is foreign to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul."

After Jesus was baptized, he saw the Spirit of God descending like a dove and a voice was heard "This is my beloved Son, with whom I am well pleased." As we give to the poor, we also can hear these same words.
