THE MISSION OF THE ST. VINCENT DE PAUL SOCIETY is that we follow the example of St. Vincent de Paul in helping the poorest among us to maintain their quality of life. Vincentians, as we are called, give of our time, energy and resources to follow the words of Christ: 

"I tell you solemnly, in so far as you did this to one of least of these brothers of mine, you did it unto me."

-Matthew 25:40

ASSISTANCE PROVIDED

   The assistance we provide include donating food, furniture, clothing, and giving referrals and counseling.

FUNDING

   Most of our funding comes from you, our fellow parishioners. We also receive occasional donations from other parishes and organizations. Every dollar you give goes to help the needy. We are all volunteers. No one gets anything in return except for the satisfaction of helping their fellow man.

- Yellow Envelopes

   Every 4 months there is a yellow envelope for the SVDP Society. These can be dropped in the regular collection any Sunday. This is the best way to help as it gives us the greatest flexibility. Please give as generously as you can.

- Food Drives

       From time to time we hold food drives to restock our pantry. Please be sure donated item have not reached the expiration date printed on the package. Remember if you wouldn't eat it, neither will anyone else.

- Blanket Sunday

   Once a year, usually in October, we collect money to buy blankets for the homeless in our area. This helps them to survive our frigid winters.

- Membership

   If you would like to donate your time, please call the SVDP Rectory at 216-252-2626 and leave your name and phone number. Someone will contact you with membership details.

- Prayer

       Don't have the time or money to donate? Your prayers for the poor and our society are always appreciated.
