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.
St. Joseph's Annual Thanksgiving Dinner for the Hungry
The St. Vincent de Paul Society, St. Joseph Parish, and St. Joseph School, are once again partnering to host our Thanksgiving Dinner for the Hungry on November 23 from 3pm—6pm. Please join us after Mass to volunteer to help with the event. We need people to prepare and deliver traditional Thanksgiving dishes to the school on the morning of the dinner. We also need volunteers to help us serve our guests. Last year we served almost 350 people and for many of them it is the only holiday meal they will get. Please help us make this year's event another success!
Our September Report
In the past 3 months, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has spent $11,195 helping a total of 28 people, including 11 children. We provided assistance with food, transportation, and housing. We were able to help repair a vehicle for a homeless person. We also helped a single mother with 6 children stay in a hotel for a week after she was evicted from her apartment. All of our funds come from the donations of St. Joseph's parishioners and all of the money goes directly to help people in our local community.
Our Sunday Collection
The second collection on the fifth Sunday of the month is for Saint Vincent de Paul; our next and last collection of this year is on December 29, 2024, however you can donate at any time. All donations are used to help families in need in our community who need assistance with their rent, bills or grocery purchases. We thank you for your generosity.
