National Council USA: Saint Vincent DePaul Society
Servicing the South Side of Saint Joseph, Saint James District
“Extend mercy towards others, so that there can be no
one in need whom you meet without helping. For what hope is there for us
if God should withdraw His mercy from us?”
—St. Vincent de
Paul
The
Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those
in need on a person-to-person basis. It is this personalized
involvement that makes the work of the Society unique.
This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often
through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of
the Society's work is to provide help while conscientiously
maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served.
We at Saint James Parish participate by serving individuals in our district who have a need for food assistance. Help is dependent upon the size of the family. Thanksgiving and Christmas baskets are also available.
We are available to serve Tuesdays and Thursdays by
appointment. Please contact the parish office, 238.0853
to inquiry about assistance.
