Help our St. Vincent de Paul council continue for the next generation! We have a critical need for at least six new volunteers. Do you have a heart for helping those in need in our community? Do you have a few hours to spare each month?
Whether you have only a little time due to a growing family or a bit more time as an empty nester, there is something you can bring to our table in serving others in need as a member of St. Vincent de Paul.
We hope to secure at least six more volunteers to help our current team of nine, but please remember that many hands make light work and more volunteers is better.
We need volunteers to help make home visits to clients to assess need, make phone calls to clients, help keep our Charity Tracker computer program up to date with current data, and deliver communion to those who are sick or homebound. We also need someone to serve as treasurer of our local council. Potential volunteers can sign up to help with just one area or multiple areas if they choose.
All training is provided. New members are always paired with seasoned members to make home visits.
A lot of our neighbors are struggling in today’s economy. Some have fallen on hard times through job loss or health problems. We take at least six calls a week for assistance. In the past few weeks, we have provided: a love seat, 19 clothing vouchers, 1 refrigerator, 3 stoves, and 5 beds. We also ordered 5 beds from Sleep in Heavenly Peace for 5 local children. We have helped with CenterPoint bills, water & sewer bills, furniture, household items, and rent. Since October of 2025, we have spent more than $10,000 helping with more than 214 cases.
If you want to help, or have questions, call the parish office or email our Council President, Jennifer Schmitz, at [email protected].
