“A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.”
September 27th is the Feast day of St. Vincent de Paul. He is the patron saint of our Society which was founded in 1833 in Paris by Frédéric Ozanam. As a college student, Ozanam and his companions were moved by the plight of the poor and challenged to put their Catholic faith into action. They adopted St. Vincent de Paul as the Society’s patron because he cared for the poor, forgotten and downtrodden of Paris.
Due to the generous support of our parishioners including our Knights of Columbus Council, we help more than 400 families each year, with careful distribution of more than $70,000 each year. These funds were used to help the needy in our community with rental assistance, utilities, medical bills, car expenses, bus passes, grocery, restaurant and Target/Wal-Mart gift cards. Thank you for your continued support of our Conference outreach activities.
