St. Vincent de Paul Society

The St. Gerard Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul assists the poor in our local area. Rooted in faith, Vinctentians believe that their mission is to see the face of Christ in others and to serve them in a spirit of hope and love. We meet weekly at our office to pray and pack groceries and/or personal items for the needy. We then personally deliver the items to our clients and spend a few moments visiting with them. The home visits are essential, not only because of the way it touches the client, but the way it touches us, our spiritual core. The connection also offers a chance to assess the needs of individuals and refer them to other services and resources. There are special items are delivered at Thanksgiving and Christmas.  If you would lke to know more, please contact John Fiero, Tom Haselschwerdt, or the St. Vincent de Paul Office.
