The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides essential support to individuals and families in need, offering food, clothing, housing, and healing. Motivated by the Catholic Christian faith, our volunteer members, known as Vincentians, go out two by two, just as the apostles did, to serve those who are struggling. We don't just offer financial help—we build relationships through personal home visits, offering compassion, friendship, and prayer. Through these acts of love and support, we bring hope to those facing hardship, believing everyone deserves a fair chance at a brighter future.

Our Mission
“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.”
Who We Are
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul USA is a Catholic lay organization inspired by Gospel values. We join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to neighbors in need and keep in the tradition of our founder, Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, members known as Vincentians are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility, and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings, and adherence to a basic Rule.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.How Does the Society Differ From Other Charities?
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is composed of women and men who seek personal holiness through works of charity. In this essential way, the Society differs from organizations whose principal objective is not the spiritual advancement of their members but the doing of good for someone else.
We don’t provide transactions; we create and nurture relationships.
The Society’s mission is clear: our ministry is a means for acquiring holiness.

The administration at Saint Andrew aimed to tackle the root causes of poverty while also providing immediate assistance to those in need. We recognized the necessity of establishing a new ministry model to meet the needs of our community effectively, and the Society of St. Vincent de Paul aligned perfectly with that vision.
