The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is the largest lay Catholic charity organization in the world. We have over 700,000 members in 139 countries, with over
"The Society has two aims: to do a great deal of spiritual good to its members through the exercise of charity, and to do a little spiritual and temporal good to a few poor families in the name of Jesus Christ. If it did not continually seek to combine these two aims, it would lose its raison d'etre. If it were to seek only the holiness of its members through pious exercises, there is no lack of Confraternities and Third Orders to meet that need. If on the other hand, it were to seek only the relief of the temporal miseries of the poor, it would only add one more to the list of public and private institutions founded for that purpose."
We help with food, provide clothing, small appliances and furniture, help prevent homelessness by helping with rent, assist with utility bills, and assist in many other ways.
