St. Vincent de Paul Society

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul - St. Michael’s Parish Conference is a lay Catholic organization whose members  belong to this Parish Community.

 

The Mission of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul implies that its members:

• See Christ in anyone who suffers

• Come together as a family

• Have personal contact with the poor

• Help in all possible ways

 

Everyone is welcome at our meetings which are held on the third Tuesday of every month, downstairs, in the Guardian Angel Room, after the 7 p.m. Mass. (No meetings in July or August).

 

 

 

Achieving our mission is made possible through the generous support of our St. Michael’s Parish Community.
