Check out the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Movie “Our Faith in Action”!!
“Our Faith in Action” Movie Description
The spirit and charism of a 400-year old French saint lives on through the examples of charity by nearly 100,000 dedicated men and women of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. The feature-length presentation “Our Faith in Action” tells the spiritually uplifting, personal stories of our Vincentian members in direct service with people in need across the country.
Please consider getting involved with the Pope St. Pius X Conference of St. Vincent de Paul (contact information below).
The national Society of St. Vincent de Paul has nearly 100,000 trained volunteers in the United States providing over 12.6 million hours of volunteer service in 2017, helping more than 5.4 million people through visits to homes, prisons and hospitals at a value of more than $3 billion dollars.
During Pope Francis’ recent visit, he reached Christians and non-Christians alike with his message of helping others. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul has been putting these words into practice for more than 170 years. SVdP is truly volunteer driven with a volunteer to staff ratio of 16 to 1.
St. Pius X established its own Society of St. Vincent de Paul Conference last spring. On September 24th, our parish will formally launch our Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul with home visits. As the Lord sent out disciples--two by two--so will our teams be visiting our friends in need, two by two.
"After this the Lord appointed seventy-two others and sent them two by two ahead of him to every town and place where he was about to go. He told them,
'The harvest is plentiful, but the workers are few."
Luke 10:1-2
TRAINING IS ONGOING!
