Saint Vincent de Paul Society

Picture
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is an international organization of caring men and women, who volunteer their time and energy to help individuals and families who are in need.  Through the generosity of the parish family, these society members go out within the parish to offer assistance to those experiencing difficult times. 

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is the group within the Parish which most especially helps the poor and the needy. Two of the main works of our St. Vincent de Paul is to help organize the Giving Tree at Christmas time, and to sponsor the Parish Food Pantry.

More can be learned about the Society from their national web page.

The St. Vincent de Paul Society may be contacted via the parish office at 508-678-5513.
