ST VINCENT DEPAUL SOCIETY

 

DESCRIPTION OF THE MINISTRY

MISSION STATEMENT

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization whose members join together to grow spiritually by providing person-to-person service to the needy and suffering. We embrace all works of charity and justice, and make no distinction in those served, because in them we see the face of Christ.

"When I was hungry, you gave me to eat; when I was thirsty you gave me to drink. Whatsoever you do to the least of my brethren, you do it to Me. Come and enter the house of My Father."

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul serves everyone, regardless of creed, opinion, color, or origin. Funds are collected through donations given through the Poor boxes, special donations and 2nd collections during the year. Members visit the needy and assess how to best help them.

Members of the committee also visit patients at the Delaware Hospital for the Chronically Ill every Tuesday and take Catholic patients to Mass.

Those needing assistance can contact the Parish office 653-8279.

Those wishing to be part of St Vincent de Paul can contact Chuck Miller at 653- 6035 for more information.
