WHO WE ARE...

​

In the spirit of love and justice, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Sacramento Diocesan Council provides help to our neighbors in need through person-to-person service. Our organization, through a network of charity, provides help to those who live in poverty and struggle to make ends meet. No charity is foreign to the Society. 

​

Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (or Vincentians) are men and women who strive to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to persons in need. It is this personalized involvement that makes the work of the Society unique. 

​

Vincentians visit those in need in their homes to assess how best to help. It could be financial aid, tangible aid, such as furniture, food, or diapers, or spiritual help. 

​

Through its Voice of the Poor, the Society also has an advocacy role for those who are defenseless or voiceless. 

​

We operate special works, such as thrift stores and clothes closets, and a program for helping welcome back those who have been incarcerated. The Society is engaged in disaster relief services here and throughout the world.
