Society of St. Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization whose mission is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ through the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.

We work closely with families in need within our parish boundaries, regardless of their religious affiliation, as they strive to gain financial independence. We may provide short term financial assistance, usually in the form of grocery gift cards, food, hygiene products, budgeting assistance and referrals to other agencies such as food banks, credit counselling etc.

We are always seeking out ways to advocate for the poor when they are oppressed by the constructs of society that make it difficult for them to move beyond their current situation.
