Saint Vincent DePaul Society

The Society of Saint Vincent DePaul is a worldwide organization of Lay Catholic men and women whose members meet in Parish and District Groups in order to help in a personal way those in need. Be it sickness or disability, mental or physical, family problems, the alcoholic, the drug addict, the grieving and the alienated- these members are there to help. A regular meeting of perhaps an hour’s duration occurs in which the “helping” contacts of each member are reported and discussed. Weekly visiting is usually done in the company of another member. Members contribute whatever they can afford - their own share in financing the group. If you are interested in joining, please contact Patrick and Jane Mooney at 410-208-4152.
