Society of St Vincent De Paul Archdiocesan Council of St Louis

Inspired by gospel values, the society of st. Vincent De Paul (svdp), is an international Catholic lay organization with a purpose of helping people grow spiritually by forming friendships and seeking and helping those in need, regardless of race, religion, gender or other factors. Our 2,801 volunteer vincentian members work through 112 parishes to meet with their neighbors in need through home visits, where they learn more about the needs and can begin to develop friendships and create systemic change. Svdp also collaborates with other organizations to help address systematic issues and break the cycle.
