The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis, primarily through home visitation. 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.
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. Energized by the awareness that service to our brother or sister in need is in fact an encounter with our Lord Jesus Christ, members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul are keenly aware that poverty, suffering and loneliness are present for millions in our communities. For that reason, we collaborate with all who seek to relieve suffering and poverty and work to address its causes. |
