St. Vincent de Paul
Energize your faith: Do good deeds with The St. Vincent de Paul Society
"Whatsoever you did to the least of my brothers and sisters, you did it to me." ~ Matthew 26:45
The St. Gabriel conference of the St. Vincent de Paul Society is an international Catholic lay organization offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering.
Our conference was organized in1986 and has approximately 40 members who visit the needy and answer calls from neighbors who need help with food, rent, utilities, medicine, clothing and more.
We often refer clients to public and religious agencies and may also provide some financial aid when funds allow. We are mindful to be good stewards of funds entrusted to us. Typical clients are the unemployed, single parents, the sick, the disabled and handicapped. We prayerfully encourage clients to be active in helping themselves when possible.
Making A Difference in Our Community
In 2009, St. Vincent de Paul Society volunteers helped 812 persons who contacted us for help and made more than 125 home visits. 100% of contributions made by St. Gabriel parishioners were used to help the needy, and virtually all of them were in our area. The 40 volunteers of St. Vincent dePaul devoted 3,300 hours of service and traveled some 3,370 non-reimbursedmiles to make homevisits. Your generous contribution will allow the good work of St. Vincent de Paul Society volunteers to continue in our community.
We invite you to join us. As a volunteer, you will serve God, help the poor, enjoy the fellowship of a dedicated group and be an active part of St. Gabriel Christian ministries.
