Society of St. Vincent de Paul
“What can we do? … We can offer what little we have. We certainly have a few hours of time, some talent, some expertise.”- Pope Francis (July 26, 2015)
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frédéric 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.
Operating within, but independent of, the Archdiocese of Philadelphia, through local parish groups called Conferences, the St. Vincent de Paul Society helps those in need with material, moral, and spiritual support. Currently, more than 500 volunteers are involved throughout the Delaware Valley. Conference activity is defined by the needs of the local community. Home visitation is performed across the board. Additional good works can include transportation for elderly/shut-ins; bereavement support; nursing home visitation; holiday dinner/gift drives, etc.
The essential elements of an SVdeP volunteer are spirituality, friendship and service to the poor in the area. We encourage anyone who would like to participate in the Saint Vincent de Paul Society to contact St. Joseph’s branch of SvdeP (
