Inspired by Gospel values, the St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVdP) is a Catholic lay organization that embraces all works of charity and justice to serve the needs of the poor and needy in our community. When individuals call the parish for help, the St. Vincent de Paul Society responds with a home visit to discern the individual’s needs. SVdP is able to provide financial assistance as well as referrals to other organizations and institutions that may be of help.
SVdP supports the following activities:
-
SVdP coordinates a monthly meal program to feed the hungry, located at 10th and Madison Street in Milwaukee. Over 400 parishioners donate food monthly to make the dinner a success while 20-30 parishioners serve the meal each month. See schedule of Parish Website.
