St. Vincent de Paul Society
of Sacred Heart
Vincentians strive through prayer, meditation
on the Scriptures, fidelity to the teaching of the Church and in the
various aspects of their daily lives, to bear witness to the love of
Christ in their relationships with those most in need. "The
poor you will always have with you" (Matt. 26:11). The
Vincentian is at their service. (S)he does not judge: (s)he is
available.
Mission Statement
The mission of the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul is to assist those struggling to
attain self sufficiency. The goal is to guide people to focus
on Gospel values.

communication between the Vincentians and the person(s) we serve, we
attempt to encourage and support independence.
