The Mission statement of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul states:
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads men and women to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering, in the tradition of their founder Blessed Frederic Ozanam and their patron St. Vincent de Paul.
President: Julie Reilly
Here in Columbia County, St. Vincent de Paul helps people who are in urgent need of assistance with utility bills, ID's and food vouchers. We also offer vouchers for clothing and household good when that is the need.
Funds for our work are provided by parishioners through our monthly collection, and from various grants and donations which come in from other sources.
