St Vincent DePaul Society

     St. Vincent dePaul 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. Our members come from all backgrounds, but all of us are blessed with an awareness that our blessings (time, talent, and treasure) are to be sharing 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 and voiceless. Some 12,000,000 persons are helped annually by Vincentians in the United States.

St. Vincent de Paul Society is deeply honored to serve God's poor.  We are grateful for the kindness shown to us by Msgr. McNamara and the parish staff.  SVDP sees families here at Resurrection of Tuesdays and Thursdays. We make home visits as needed.

The needs of the poor are overwhelming! We offer prayer when meeting those in need. We assist with prescriptions, rental assistance, FPL, and water bills. We provide food, diapers, personal care items. Our thrift shop provides clothing and furniture. We work with the homeless to provide temporary shelter to give them a hand up to a better life. Please be assured of our gratitude and prayers. Your generous support lessens the burdens of the poor.

St. Vincent de Paul


St. Vincent de Paul was born at Pouy, France on April 24, 1581. He was ordained a priest on September 23, 1600. Vincent devoted himself entirely to the alleviation of the sufferings of the poor, and to that purpose established the Confraternities of Charity, later known as the Ladies of Charity, in 1617. In 1625 he founded the Congregation of the Mission, his community of priests and brothers. With Louise de Marillac, he co-founded the Daughters of Charity in 1633. Vincent died in Paris on September 27, 1660 and was canonized in 1737. Pope Leo XIII declared him patron saint of all works of charity.
