The Society of St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 183 by Frederic Ozanam, a 20-year-old student of the Sorbonne University in Paris. He and fellow students visited the poor of Paris, taking them bread and clothes, friendship and concern. They took as their patron the French Priest, St. Vincent de Paul, who alerted the world to social problems. Similar groups began in the rest of France and eventually spread throughout the Christian world. We have a very active St. Vincent de Paul Society, which assists those in need through emergency aid for shelter, transportation, utility bills, etc., a Food and Clothing Bank, and holiday sharing baskets. They have a prison ministry coordinated by Deacon Andy Espinoza. Our conference opened a retail store in 1960 where they sell donated clothes, furniture, household items, books and lots of other interesting items. The work of the Society is aided by individual contributions, a special collection taken at all Masses on the 2nd Sunday of each month, and income from our local store. Both your donation of useable items and your patronage are appreciated. Volunteers are always welcome.
