Welcome to St. Vincent de Paul of McEwen
We are a community inspired by Gospel values, dedicated to growing in holiness through friendship, service, and advocacy for those in need. Join us in building a more just world by serving our neighbors with compassion.
Our Mission and Purpose
At the St. Vincent de Paul Society, we're driven by a simple yet profound goal: to form a supportive community rooted in Gospel teachings, striving for personal growth, and working together to create a fairer world by serving those in need with care and compassion.
Beyond our Society's confines, the identities of the families receiving aid and the extent of support, both material and spiritual, remain confidential. Vincentians come from diverse backgrounds—doctors, office workers, lawyers, factory workers, homemakers, students, retirees—essentially, people like you. Your neighbor might be a Vincentian without your knowledge, and that's intentional. This discretion safeguards the privacy of those in need and enhances the efficiency of our efforts.
Vincentians are not professionally trained social workers, the important thing is the desire to serve as Jesus served.
