Our Mission:

 Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, 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 in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.   

As a reflection of the whole family of God, Members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level.  Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic Rule.

Organized locally Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of Charity and justice.  The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

Activities:

·        The Society of St. Vincent de Paul’s main work is the same as it was with our founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam----to put our faith into action by visiting the home of the poor on a person-to-person basis.  (There is no need which is outside the concern of the Society)

·        To volunteer our time and talent at the St. Vincent de Paul Outreach Center at 2215 O Street (Phone # 438-3135).

·        Community and Solidarity activities such as attending solidarity masses as well as a social gathering after mass and attending an annual picnic of all conference members and their families.

·        Other activities involve serving the neediest in our parish and Lincoln Community.
