Information on St. Vincent DePaul
The Society, a Catholic lay organization, is over 100 years old and was founded on the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron St. Vincent de Paul to service those who arein need. Locally we provide food vouchers to the local market, sometimes supplementing the vouchers with non-perishable items from our food pantry which our parishioners donate to eachmonth. We have helped with fuel for some elderly, helped with paying utility bills, and can be a source for seeking other aid.
Through the Boston Conference, we have been instrumental in awarding scholarships to several students in Our Lady’s Academy.
Annually, we deliver Thanksgiving baskets to those whom we have serviced throughout the year, sponsor a “Baby Shower” to collect infant and childrens items for local shelters, and our annual Christmas Giving Tree where we deliver over 450 gifts to local families, Fernald, and Catholic Charities.
All this is funded primarily by the boxes at the church doors, and by individual donations.
All our work is done in a confidential manner.
