ABOUT SVDP
Founded in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide organization of lay Catholics, following Christ’s call to serve the poor, the suffering, and the deprived.
Our founding activity, still practiced today, is the Home Visit. Through these visits, Vincentian members establish personal relationships with our neighbors in need, not only providing material assistance such as rent, utilities, food, or clothing, but also offering friendship, understanding, and prayer.
The National Council of the United States was established to support local St. Vincent de Paul Conferences and Councils, and to represent them among the global Society’s membership. Today, the National Council provides resources, training, and spiritual formation for nearly 100,000 Vincentians in 5,000 Conferences and Councils across the country.
Because “no work of charity is foreign to the Society,” Vincentians respond to many community and individual needs through programs such as disaster relief services, job training and placement, thrift stores, food pantries, housing programs, prison reentry, medical services, and many others, always seeking longer-term pathways out of poverty and towards the full flourishing of every person.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a worldwide organization of Catholic men and women volunteering to help those in need – spiritually, economically, and emotionally.
The St. Mary Conference has been helping people in the Woodstock area since 2003.

Share the Bounty Program
Every Summer, St. Vincent de Paul offers a produce-sharing program called Share the Bounty. We ask local gardeners to contribute some of their extra harvests to a community table, located in the St. Joseph Center. The produce there is available to parishioners for donation. All donations support the St. Vincent de Paul outreach ministry. Any leftover produce is donated to local food pantries.
St. Vincent de Paul car Donation Program
Do you have an old car that you would like to donate to the St. Vincent de Paul Society? Your donation will not only provide you with a tax deduction, but it will also provide valuable funds to our society so that we can continue assisting those who are in need.
