Saint Vincent De Paul Society
Inspired by Gospel values, this Catholic lay organization
leads men and women to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person
service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Frederic
Oznam, and it patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
Organized locally here at St. Mark Parish, members
winess to 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 among those served, because,
in them, members see the face of Christ
The Society delivers food and other needs directly
to people. It also runs a store nearby in which furniture and clothing
is available at low cost for the poor. A major project is the distribution
of Christmas baskets to needy families. Money is raised for this through
a special collection on the fifth Sunday of the month. A food pantry is
maintained by the Society.
