The parish St. Vincent de Paul hours are currently Mondays and Thursdays 9:15 am to 10:15 am and Wednesdays 5:00 to 6:00 pm in the St. John Bosco Center. Food donations are always needed and can be left in the box in the narthex of the church or in SVDP baskets located inside Padua Hall or the Parish Center.
Dependent on our parishioners’ generous donation of money and non-perishable food, Vincentians are able to provide the poor of our area with pantry items as well as financial aid for rent, utilities and other necessities. This is an International Society of Charity offering person-to-person service to the poor and needy, regardless of race, color or creed.
St. Vincent de Paul volunteers are called Vincentians. If you would like to share some of your talent and time with which you have been blessed, please consider ministry in this society.
