OLPH Ministry/Organization Spotlight Name: St. Vincent de Paul Society Who are we? Founded in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide organization of lay Catholics, following Christ's call to setve the poor, the suffering and the deprived. Our founding activity, still pracited today, is the Home Visit. (Covid has changed this temporaily) Through these vsits, Vincentian members establish personal relationships with our negihbors in need not only providing assistance such as rent, utilities, food, or clothing, but also offering friendship, understanding and prayer. Our organization consists of local Conferences and Councils, which are supported and represented among the global Society’s membership by The National Council of the United States, and through today, the National Council provides resources, training, and spiritual formation for nearly 100,000 Vincentians in 5,000 Conferences and Councils across the country. Because “no work of charity is foreign to the Society,” Vincentians respond to many community and individual needs through programs such as disaster relief services, job training & placement, thrift stores, food pantries, housing programs, prison reentry, medical services, and many others, always seeking longer-term pathways out of poverty and towards the full flourishing of every person.
