Saint Vincent de Paul Society
Our Mission
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul. Organized locally at our parish, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul, together with the parishioners of St. Joseph’s Church, and St. Joseph’s School will be hosting our annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the Hungry on Saturday, November 18.
We are planning to serve home cooked meals to about 300 guests in the school auditorium. We serve families with children, seniors, and many other people from different walks of life. Some of our guests have no home and for many this may be the only special meal they have all year.
To make this happen we need your help! Please sign up after Mass on Sunday to prepare food or volunteer to work at the event, alternatively you can leave a message at 650-967-3831 Ext. 125.
