St. Vincent de Paul Society

The St. Vincent de Paul Society is composed of lay personnel of the parish (both male and female) who assist individuals and families by actual private personal visits, within the parish boundaries, that are in need of food and financial assistance in utility partial payments, rents, transportation, or pharmacy requirements. Members also assist in the distribution of meals via the St. Vincent de Paul bus in the E. St. Louis area once monthly. Funds for the society are obtained by membership donations at monthly meetings and the Poor and Needy Collection at the parish.

Meetings

     The Society meets monthly on the second Monday of the month at 6:00 p.m. in the Rectory basement.
