SOCIETY OF SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL (SSVP) WINNIPEG - STE-CATHERINE LABOURÉ CONFERENCE
Everyone needs help from time to time
At the Saint Vincent de Paul Society, we understand that tough times, the loss of a job or illness can occur at any time. During these trials, it is comforting to know that you can count on timely help, through a home visit.
All information shared with our volunteers will stay confidential.
To get help, contact us by telephone at 204-237-6468 and leave us a message. One of our volunteers will call you back as soon as possible.
WHO WE ARE
The work of the Society
We are called to alleviate suffering and its causes, serving everyone regardless of race, creed, gender, opinion or age. As Vincentians we understand that poverty does not only involve being in need of material goods. The Society’s main service throughout the world is home visits to the poor.
Mathew 25:64-40… For I was hungry…
Vincentians also strive to address the root causes of poverty and injustice by acting as “the voice of the poor”.
MISSION
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization whose mission is: To live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.
The Mission of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul implies that as Vincentians, we see Christ in anyone who suffers, come together as a family, have personal contact with the poor and help in all possible ways.
