Are you interested in volunteering with our St. Vincent de Paul Society Conference? Click here!
Nothing in the way of charity is foreign to the St. Vincent de Paul Society. All requests for assistance are assigned numbers and reference to this involved is made by number. This eliminates the possibility of names being divulged outside the conference, and it helps recipients with confidentiality and self-respect.In In February, Fr. Matt and the Family Leadership Team were informed that the St. Aloysius Gonzaga St. Vincent de Paul conference would be merging with the St. Martin of Tours SVDP conference effective immediately. St. Aloysius’ SVDP conference has helped many people in their neighborhood for many years and we wish to express our appreciation to those who helped organize and lead this conference. Unfortunately, due to a lack of volunteers and funding, Pat Schlim, the St. Al’s SVDP leader announced the closure and decision to merge the territory with St. Martin’s SVDP.
Debbie Brunst, leader of St. Martin’s SVPD, is excited about this opportunity to join forces and wishes to extend an invitation to anyone from St. Aloysius parish who would like to help with St. Vincent de Paul, to please join the team! We are always needing volunteers.
In the past few weeks, St. Martin SVDP has begun receiving the calls for those in need within the boundaries of St. Aloysius SVDP territory. It is reported that there are about 10 calls per week in that area, compared to 50 calls per week in the St. Martin area. “It makes sense that we come together to help the people in our community. We have a food pantry and many opportunities to help the St. Aloysius neighborhood.”
Anyone interested in learning about or volunteering with the Society of St. Vincent de Paul can attend a meeting on Tuesday, April 8, 2025 at 5:30 in Fr. Mick Hall or call Debbie Brunst at 513-661-0085. Many hands make light work. Everyone is welcome.
