St. Vincent de Paul

Inspired by the Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are in need and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, Members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level.  Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic rule.

Serving with a spirit of justice, charity, and respect,
 the Society helps those in need within our community 
with food, utility bills, rent, and other life necessities. 
 Your contribution will help the 
St. Ferdinand-St. Vincent de Paul Society carry out their mission.
