St. Vincent de Paul Society

 

St. Vincent de Paul Society

 

Founded in Paris in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent DePaul joined the already established Vincentian Communities of Priests and Nuns in service to the poor. Inspired by Gospel values, The Society, a Catholic lay organization leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to–person service to those who are needy and suffering. We are one of the largest Catholic organization in the world with 750,000 members in 149 countries.

 The Society has two aims: to do a great deal of spiritual good for its members through the exercise of charity, and to do a little spiritual and temporal good for a few poor families in the name of Jesus Christ.

 

 

FUNDING

We serve our neighbors through the generosity of our North Penn Community through donations, gifts, fundraising, and in partnerships with area churches and agencies who have a similar community outreach mission. 

With the poor inordinately suffering rom escalation housing, food, and utility costs, working together as a community to serve the poor allows us to reach more neighbors, fulfill more needs, and stretch our funds.
