Our Mission
 
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person to person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and the 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. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic rule.
 
How You Can Help
 
1. Monetary Support: Any contribution, large or small, means we are able to help the needy in this community. Please make a tax-deductible contribution, and help us help people. 
 
Checks made out to St. Margaret Mary or cash can be placed in the St. Anthony Poor Box, using the special envelopes in the vestibule of the church. You can also designate the check to St. Vincent de Paul in the memo.
 
 2. Becoming a Vincentian: Vincentians make up the backbone of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Since the early 1800's these volunteers - Catholic lay people - have been helping the needy. Through meetings, fundraising and direct assistance, you can help your neighbor. It is truly a wonderful experience, that of helping another person.  Please call 985-503-3774 and join us to help the needy within our community.
