Society of Saint Vincent De Paul

The society of St. Vincent De Paul is one of the oldest and largest Catholic lay organizations for serving the needy in the world. members assist the poor through home visitation to offer food, clothing, utility, rent, and job/counseling referral assistance, as well as a listening ear for a few minutes. St. Louis currently has two young adult chapters, comprised of volunteers in their 20's and 30's, offering these services in the Soulard and South Grand areas; they often hold social events as fundraisers.

"NEW SVDP YOUNG ADULT CHAPTER...The Society of St. Vincent De Paul is establishing a new chapter for young adults in the West County area.  The chapter will meet at St. Joseph in Manchester, but conduct monthly home visits to the needy just south of downtown St. Louis.  To find out more about this rewarding and very flexible work, please contact Youth/Young Adult Rep Bryan Kirchoff at (314) 640-4366 or bryankirchoff@att.net."
