St. Vincent de Paul
Our mission is to serve those in need...
The St.
Vincent De Paul Society was founded by Frederick Ozanam in Paris in
1833. Ozanam, a Parisian student leader, belonged to a debate society
that discussed social and political issues of the day. The more he
talked about the plight of the poor, the more he realized that their
problems needed action, not talk. He began to visit the needy in the
slums of Paris, and to organize his friends and associates in these
visits. This was the birth of the St. Vincent De Paul Society.
A short
twelve years later, the Society opened its doors in the U.S.; 1995
marked the 150th anniversary of that American beginning.
Today, this
international lay volunteer Catholic organization has more than one
million members worldwide and active branches in 135 separate countries.
The
St. Vincent de Paul Society of Assumption Parish is dedicated to serving
people in need, regardless of race or religion.
St. Vincent de Paul offers assistance to those who have fallen upon times of hardship and personal crisis. St. Vincent de Paul helps with utility assistance.
St Vincent de Paul interviews for assistance every Tuesday from 1:30 to 3:00 p.m. For more information please contact the Parish Office.
