Make a Difference in Our Community
St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is a ministry dedicated to serving our neighbors in need with compassion and dignity. As the need in our community continues to grow, we are seeking more volunteers to join us in this important work.
SVDP offers a variety of opportunities to get involved, including food pantry service, direct assistance, grocery deliveries, and special community projects. It’s also a wonderful way for families to serve together and for students to earn service hours while making a meaningful impact locally.
If you feel called to help, we would love to hear from you. You can place a note in the collection basket at Mass, email us at stceciliasvdp@gmail.com, or call the church office to request a callback. You are also warmly invited to attend one of our meetings to learn more and see what we do.
Meetings are held on the third Tuesday of each month at 6:30 PM in the church undercroft.
We hope you’ll join us in serving our community!
