St. Vincent de Paul Society is a challenging but rewarding ministry that has a dual focus. First and foremost, it is a small faith community where each member grows dramatically in their faith through spiritual reflections shared with each other and through discovering the face of Christ in the people they serve. Their second focus is to assist those in need, through home visits, direct financial assistance and referrals to other charitable agencies.
