The Saint Vincent de Paul Society is an international Catholic organization of lay persons.
Founded in 1833 by Frederick Ozanam and placed under the patronage of St. Vincent de Paul, its members work in a spirit of justice and charity through person-to-person involvement. No work of charity is foreign to the society.
We are taught to see the face of God in those we serve. We provide aid to clients via food vouchers, medical equipment and monetary assistance with mortgage/rent/utility bills. Help is provided regardless of religious affiliation.
We make weekly visits to Absolut Care of East Aurora. We also visit Absolut Care of Orchard Park on the first Saturday of the month. If you are interested in finding out more, please check the parish calendar or bulletin for our meeting times.
Feb. 2020 Statement of the Society of St. Vincent de PaulIn the wake of the announcement that the Diocese of Buffalo has filed for reorganization under chapter 11 of the United States Bankruptcy Code, it is important to note that the Society of St. Vincent dePaul has no corporate connection with the Diocese of Buffalo, and never has.In conjunction with our international bylaws, all financial contributions to the Society remain with the Society and are used to further our mission. Not a single penny of donations generously made to the Society will be given to the diocese to help pay for any legal claims.Since the Society’s formation in 1847, we have always been and remain independent. And we remain true to our mission: we are a Catholic lay organization whose members seek to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person assistance to the poor, the suffering, and the forgotten in the compassionate tradition of the Society’s founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, St. Vincent dePaul.The Society of St. Vincent dePaul operates a dining room at 1298 Main St., Buffalo, serving more than 70,000 meals a year. Since 1930, Vincent’s Discount Store (at the same location) has been answering the need of the poor by providing clothing and household items. The Society operates a store and a warehouse facility in Buffalo, providing reconditioned clothing and household items at little or no cost for those in need of them. We are currently working to expand our store effort to Niagara Falls as well.The Society’s members seek out our neighbors in need and helps where and when they can. Sometimes they can do little more than just listen and comfort. Sometimes they are able to help with a bag of donated foodstuffs, or by assisting with the necessities of life. Our mission is to compassionately serve the most basic needs of the forgotten, the suffering and deprived, in a manner consistent with the restoration of their dignity and self-respect.This year we are celebrating our 173 rd year of continuously serving our community as the second oldest SVdP chapter in the United States. We look forward to continuing to animate the corporal works of the gospel by bringing "Charity to Life" in Western New York and being a hope sustaining presence for years to come!
