The St. Gerard Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul assists the poor in the local parish area. Rooted in faith, Vincentians believe their mission is to see the face of Christ in others and serve them with a spirit of hope. The Vincentians
meet weekly on Wednesday evenings, at 1213 Clark Road starting at 4:30 p.m., to pray, pack groceries and personal items for the needy (35 families a week). They then go to the homes to deliver aid and spend a few moments with each client. Home visits to the poor are a core activity, essential to the spirituality of the group.
Vincentians also assess the needs of individuals, provide direct aid when possible, and connect the clients with other resources when necessary or beneficial. Vincentians deliver food baskets to needy families at Thanksgiving and Christmas. At Christmas, they also provide gifts for children and poinsettia plants to surviving spouses of deceased parishioners.
