SVDP

All are invited to join the Saint Vincent de Paul Conference of St. John-St. Paul Collaborative in a Prayer Service on Saturday morning, December 14, at 9:30am at St. Paul Church (or streaming online here.)  This prayer service is our send-off offering prior to our Christmas visits to our homebound parishioners. 

We would also like to thank the members of the Young Adult Ministry group and the students preparing for their Confirmation for their support of this effort.

Merry Christmas and a heartfelt thank you from our St. Vincent de Paul Conference team.

The St. John-St. Paul Society of St. Vincent de Paul would like to thank our collaborative community for their tremendous support of our recent Fill-the-Truck event. The response to helping those in need was tremendous – may God bless you all!

We will be back next fall with our next Fill-the-Truck event!  

Each year, on the weekend closest to the Feast of St. Vincent de Paul (September 27), our Collaborative Conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) asks for your help in funding our mission – to provide urgently needed assistance to our neighbors in need for the basic necessities of life. 

Our Second Collection this weekend supports this on-going work. Special SJSP SVdP envelopes are available in the churches, and checks may be made out  to the “SJSP Conference SVDP Society” and placed in the collection or mailed/dropped to either parish office. Gifts may also be made online at sjspwellesley.org/svdp

Please help us to help the many friends in need in our community with your generous donations.

Each year, on the weekend closest to the Feast of St.Vincent de Paul, our Collaborative’s St. Vincent de Paul Society asks for your help in raising funds for our mission of providing urgently needed assistance to our neighbors for the basic necessities of life. This year, on the weekend of September 30-October 1, our Collaborative will take up a second collection at all Masses to seek your renewed assistance for the Society. Last year, you responded magnificently, and since then we have collected about $25,000.

As a result of your generosity, we have been able to help 37 different individuals and families…
