St. Vincent de Paul News

St. Vincent de Paul is much more than a patron saint of thrift shops! Young Vincent became a priest hoping to advance and rise above his modest upbringing. His early ambition amounted to little when he was assigned to a poor rural parish. Here he experienced a new joy in his vocation. Hearing the profound deathbed confession of a dying servant, Vincent became more convinced of the special attention that must be given to the poor. In 1625, Vincent founded the Congregation of the Mission for the purpose of caring for the poor. Originally priests only, the mission expanded to include groups of laity who provided for spiritual and material needs of the poor in each parish.

Nearly 400 hundred years later, his legacy lives on!
Thank You to all members, past and present, of our St. Vincent de Paul Conference here at All Saints Parish!

Your work for the poor is essential!

Thank you to everyone who gives to our St. Vincent de Paul Conference so they can continue their work! As everyone knows, All Saints Parish is in neighborhoods where there are many neighbors with very basic needs…utilities, home goods, clothes, help with rent, etc. It is through our continuing support and the work of our St. Vincent de Paul Conference that we continue to serve God through our corporate works of mercy.
