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. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization that encourages people to join together in spiritual growth by offering person-to-person services to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul. Our volunteers serve as advocates for the poor, seeking to discover the root causes of poverty and to remedy its effects.
