Walking Together: Come see what we do!

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides direct, person-to-person service to individuals and families experiencing poverty and hardship. The parish-based SVdP conferences at St. Vincent and St. Theresa are exploring how we can unify into a single, stronger conference to serve our community better.

As a first step, we invite all current Vincentian volunteers -- and anyone curious about our ministry -- to attend meetings at both parishes. Come get to know your fellow Vincentians and see how we work!

Join us for our last summer meeting:

Thursday, Aug. 20, at 7 p.m. | St. Theresa parish office basement
