Society of St. Vincent de Paul at St. Francis of Assisi

             

What is St. Vincent de Paul?
An International Catholic lay organization in unity with the Church was founded in France in 1843 to minister to the poor and vulnerable. Each St. Vincent de Paul conference is usually organized on a parish level.

What do we do?

  • The Conferences will attempt to serve all parishioners in need and neighbors within the Zip Codes 27613, 27617 & 27703.
  • Vincent de Paul helps people in of short-term financial help.
  • At St Francis we have established a phone line for people in need to call and leave a message. 919-534-4842
  • Two visitors will then contact the neighbor and set up a time to visit them at their residence to assess their need and gather documentation.
  • All Conferences acquire their own financial resources and partner with other agencies in the area to assist those in need.

Pope Francis writes:
“It [The Holy Year of Mercy] will be a way to reawaken our conscience, too often grown dull in the face experience of God’s mercy… Let us rediscover these corporal works of mercy: to feed the hungry, give drink to the thirsty, clothe the naked, welcome the stranger, heal the sick, visit the imprisoned, and bury the dead.”
