The Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Santa Rosa Conference, Andice, Texas
Our Mission is to serve the poor and suffering within the boundaries of our parish.
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is an international organization with over 800,000 members in 149 countries.
Membership in the Society is a vocation, a commitment "to follow Christ through service to those in need and so bear witness to his compassionate and liberating love." No work of charity is foreign to the Society. members, called Vincentians, visit the poor and needy in their homes and offer assistance that "alleviates suffering or deprivation and promotes human dignity and personal integrity in all their dimensions."
Because the Conference is totally comprised of volunteers our overhead is very small when compared to other nonprofit organizations. The parish generously provides us with office space and covers all of the overhead expenses intrinsic in having a physical location.Our consumable office expenses are covered by Vincentians' donations and Regional dues are paid to the Austin Councils that each Conference is required to pay.
But frequently our knowledge of SVdP is limited to the fact that collected funds are used to help the poor. While that is indeed true, the Society is so much more.
All members of the parish are invited to join us. If you feel called to personally serve the poor and needy please consider becoming a member. -

Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians "see the face of Christ".
