Saint Vincent de Paul Society

Members of the Society of St.Vincent de Paul (or "Vincentians" ) are men and women who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need. We are young and old. Our members come in every shade of skin color. Some of us are wealthy, some are financially poor, but all of us are blessed with an awareness that our blessings (time, talent or treasure) are to be shared with our brothers and sisters in need.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the Society's work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. The Society recognizes that it must assume, also, a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless. Some 12 million persons are helped annually by Vincentians in the United States.

The list of services of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in the United States is endless. No work of charity is foreign to the Society. To quote our patron, St. Vincent de Paul: "Charity is infinitely inventive."

St. Vincent de Paul Advisory June 2011:

St. David's has had a busy year and summer is amost here. Many are blessed and have a pleasant vacation ahead but many of our friends and neighbors are not so lucky. Times have been tough and many are struggling to pay bills and provide for their families. These are the brothers and sisters that God wants us to help. Please think avout them and drop a donation into the poor box or put a donation into an envelope marked St. Vincent de Paul and drop it into the collection box. We don't ask for large donations. We know that every dollar helps us help others.

We also provide many services for our parishoners and neighbors. We help man the area food bank, provide transportation to Church for those that need it, we collect food and clothing for the poor and we can help those in need navigate the system to get help from other agencies. Call the Rectory if you need our help.
