St. Vincent DePaul Society
|
| Description: |
|
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a group of men
and women of the parish who volunteer their time to
respond to the various needs of people who live in
our neighborhood; these necessities include items
such as food, utilities, and other basic necessities.
|
| Purpose: |
|
Our parish St. Vincent de Paul group works in conjunction
with the St. Vincent de Paul Society of greater St. Louis
which has four additional ministries: job placement services,
Criminal Justice Ministry (which provides visitation to
inmates and assists families of inmates and victims of crime),
The Thrift Store (which provides low cost furniture, clothing
and other household items for the poor), and general
assistance and referrals to those in need.

In addition to assisting those in need with utility payments etc.,
we also help to staff, fund and supply the ecumenical
