Bringing help to the Needy in Body and Spirit

The St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) conference at St Benedict's is an active group of individuals whose mission is to seek out those in the Parish who may be in need and combine their efforts to answer those needs in whatever way it can.  Some of the group's activities include a Spring and Fall clothing drive, monthly contributions to several local food pantries, sponsoring children at the SVDP Summer Camp and responding to referrlals of individuals in need.  Referrals may come from the SVDP Main Office, our Parish office, and sometimes from social workers at our area schools.  But, regardless of the source, the members of SVDP are always there, ready to lend a helping hand.

More information is available on the Society's National website.  

Meetings of the Society are held at 7 pm on the first Thursday of every month in the conference room located on the first floor of the School near the Kindergarten classroom, and usually last less than an hour. 

If you are interested in joining or learning more about the Saint Vincent dePaul Society and how you can help in its efforts to minister to  others, you can call Delores Byron, Outreach Coordinator, at 833-8030 or Matthew Smith, President, at 832-2086.  New members are always welcome, as well as your ideas and enthusiasm!
