 Saint Vincent De Paul Society

Founded in Paris in 1833, the Society’s motto is ‘Turning Concern into Action’. We try to put this into practice in our parish by visiting and helping anyone we see or hear to be in need, individuals and families, – needs including problems arising from lack of means, debt, loneliness, help with form-filling, or maybe just visiting the housebound to give them a different face to see or to keep them up with parish news. We meet fortnightly in the Hall, say some prayers, report on visits, check our finances and discuss future action or events.
