Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Chairperson: Mike Rogan
Meetings: Meetings are held on the 2nd Thursday of the month, in the St. Anthony Room @ 7:00 pm
Mission:
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization that leads its members to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to individuals in need who live within and beyond our parish boundaries.
It is personalized involvement that takes the form of intervention, consultation, or often through the direct dollar or in-kind service. The Society collaborates with other commissions in the parish to help relieve the need and address the causes.
The Society is an international organization, organized locally, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
