St. Mary St. Vincent dePaul

Conference Wants You!

Are you interested in growing spiritually while meeting new people and serving others? Then join us in St. Mary's St. Vincent de Paul group. 

• St. Mary is one of about 50 SVDP conferences in the archdiocese. 
• The organization is focused equally on three areas: spiritual, fellowship, and service. 
• We meet on the 2nd Thursday of every month at 7:30 PM in the Seton Center on the St. Mary campus. 
• Our group has about 12 active members, and another ten or so that are semi-active. Active members typically attend the monthly meetings and help with home visits/calls with our neighbors in need. Typical needs are utility and rent support, clothing, furniture, and food. For more information, please send us an email at st.mary.svdp@gmail.com

The next SVDP food drive is September 16 & 17.
