Years ago, the Society of St. Vincent
de Paul was founded by people who cared about the problems of those around them;
whose concern galvanized them into ACTION.
We of St. Dominic’s conference of the
Society of St. Vincent de Paul still care and we’d like you to care with us.
Comprised of Catholic men and women,
the Society is quietly at work throughout Bay County to serve those in need as
well as people who have temporarily fallen on hard times in our parish and in
our local community. We strive to serve all people in need, regardless of race,
religion or cultural heritage always holding fast to the vision of the Society
and supplying the resources necessary to show people God’s love.

 | We visit people at home, in hospitals, and in other Institutions. |
| We give advice, and vouchers for food, medicines, and other necessities
to those in need. |
| We reach out to the lonely, and the alienated. |
| We help to educate those in need to enable them to obtain benefits to which they are entitled. |
| We teach children skills which they will carry into adulthood. |
| We help people who are seeking employment with their resumes and job applications. |
| We work with other churches and agencies on community projects. |
| We try at all times to make this world a better place and to better the lives of those whom the system has forgotten or left behind.

Prayer to St. Vincent
de Paul
Patron of Charitable Workers
|
 |
Dear Saint Vincent, the mere mention of
your name
suggests a litany of your virtues:
humility, zeal, mercy, self-sacrifice.
It also recalls your many
foundations:
Works of Mercy, Congregations, Societies.
And the Church gratefully remembers your promotion
of the priesthood.
Inspire all charitable workers,
especially those who minister to the
poor---
both the spiritually and the materially poor. Amen.
