St. Vincent de Paul Society

Inspired by 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 needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric 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.

 

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.

 

Church of the Blessed Sacrament Conference of St. Vincent de Paul

The Church of the Blessed Sacrament has a great tradition of support for the poor. We are blessed with a strong St. Vincent de Paul Society and the Society is always welcoming of new members. As a parish, we take up a second collection at Mass on the fourth Sunday of the Month in support of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Our parish conference works collaboratively with conferences throughout our deanery to bring the love of Christ to the poor of our community.
