| The St. Vincent de Paul Society conference is up and running in St. John Neumann Parish. The vocation of the Society is to follow Christ through service to those in need in our own and nearby communities. Members show their commitment through person-to-person contact. No work of charity is foreign to the Society. It includes any form of help that alleviates suffering and promotes human dignity. The conference meets on the 1st and 3rd Saturday mornings from 10:30 to 11:30 am in the library at St. John Neumann School. For more information contact Deacon Mike Gouge at 966-9504. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide Christian community, founded in Paris in 1833, by a group of Catholic lay people who joined together to create the first Conference. The Society has been Catholic from its origins. It remains an international Catholic voluntary organization of lay people, men and women. The vocation of the Society's members, who are called Vincentians, is to follow Christ through service to those in need and so bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love. Members show their commitment through person-to-person contact. No work of charity is foreign to the Society. It includes any form of help that alleviates suffering or deprivation and promotes human dignity. Vincentians strive to seek out and find those in need and the forgotten, the victims of exclusion or adversity. Vincentians pray that the Holy Spirit may guide them during their visits and make them channels for the peace and joy of Christ. |
