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.

Reports
In the past 3 months, the St. Vincent de Paul Society has spent $7,735.51 helping 25 people, including 7 children. We have helped families pay their rent, assisted with vehicle repairs, and helped with miscellaneous expenses for those in need. In one instance, we assisted a pair of sisters, both single parents with 4 children between them, pay their rent when one of them had to be out of work to take care of her teen. We are only able to provide this assistance because of your generous donations.
En los últimos 3 meses, la Sociedad de San Vicente de Paúl ha gastado $7,735.51 ayudando a 25 personas, incluyendo 7 niños. Hemos ayudado a familias a pagar su renta, asistido con reparaciones de vehículos y apoyado con gastos varios para quienes lo necesitan. En un caso, ayudamos a un par de hermanas, ambas madres solteras con 4 hijos entre las dos, a pagar su renta cuando una de ellas tuvo que ausentarse del trabajo para cuidar a su adolescente. Solo podemos brindar esta ayuda gracias a sus generosas donaciones.
