A Call to Serve
On April 23, 1833, a group of six young students in Paris, France met and laid the foundation of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. Their purpose was “to insure their faith by works of charity.” Today we continue to pursue the same goal. If you would like to discuss becoming a member of the society of St. Vincent de Paul, please call Dan Torring1ton at 425-0661.  Someday, we will be privileged to hear these words from Jesus Himself: “I was hungry and you fed me … homeless and you took me in.”
