The Mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul - “A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.” Our Accomplishments – In 2022, within the Joseph and St Anthony Church Parishes boundaries, we assisted 84 families (a total of 360 people) of all religious affiliations with rental assistance, utility payments, clothing, food, and moral support. Through the generous support of its members, those who place money in the poor boxes, those who contribute monthly with their SVdP envelopes, and fund-raisers, the SVdP Society was gifted with $25,385 to assist the poor. $29,653 was distributed to those in need. Your generosity made that possible. Along with the funds distributed, the SVdP Society gave 682 hours of service to the community and drove 646 miles to reach those in need. How to Receive Help – Please leave a voice mail on our phone line (504) 298-6907. A team member will contact you to set up an appointment for a home visit.
