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 Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.

Members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group and economic level, as a reflection of the whole family of God. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule.

Organized locally, 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 St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Mary's meets every 1st and 3rd Thursday of the month in the small meeting room in the church hall after the 7:00p.m. Mass (check the bulletin before coming). New members are always welcome. Come and join with us in serving the needs of our community! If you or someone you know is in need of assistance, please call the parish office and refer the person or family to us. We encourage and appreciate all donations, which can be put in one of our boxes (the most central one is in the church hall foyer area) or given to one of the members who collect after each weekend Mass. Thank you for helping us to help others!
