of lay persons, founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and his companions.
Placed under the patronage of St. Vincent dePaul, the society derives its
inspiration from his thinking and work. It seeks, in a spirit of justice
and charity and by person-to-person involvement of its members, to help
those who are in need.
The Conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society works hand-in-hand
with the Christian Service Commission
in reaching out to those in need. Activities/Projects: Food drive for Thanksgiving Baskets, Christmas
Baskets, Giving Tree (which provides for the "want lists" of
various charitable agencies at Christmas time), monetary donations to
places that request them. New members are most welcome in both organizations. If
interested, just call the Parish Office at (586) 751-3340. |
