How to help

The work of the SVdP society is made possible by the generosity of the parishioners. If possible, please consider helping this conference to continue assisting the people in most need in our church and Framingham by making a tax-exempt donation in the St. Vincent de Paul boxes at each entrance of Saint Stephen’s Church (221 Concord Street in Framingham). There is a collection box at the main entrance and black boxes at the side entrances of the church. There is one near the bathroom and another one is the back entrance. All the SVdP funds are used for the mission; most of it directly to help people in need and a very small fraction for administrative expenses (e.g., SVdP headquarters annual fee). All the SVdP members are volunteers (no salary).

Want to join?

The SVdP Society welcomes new members. We meet on the first Thursday of the month at 7:00 pm at Saint Stephen parish school basement where we participate in a brief time of prayer and meditation followed by a discussion of pending requests for assistance and other conference tasks. If you are interested in joining our group, please call us at 508-202-0730 and leave a message.

“No work of charity is foreign to the Society. It includes any form of help that alleviates suffering or deprivation and promotes human dignity and personal integrity in all their dimensions. It strives to seek out and find those in need and the forgotten, the victims of exclusion or adversity. Faithful to the spirit of its founders, the Society constantly strives for renewal, adapting to changing world conditions. It seeks to be ever aware of the changes that occur in human society and the new types of poverty that may be identified or anticipated. It gives priority to the poorest of the poor and to those who are most rejected by a community.”
