St. Vincent de Paul Society
St. Gregory the Great Parish

Mission Statement of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron St. Vincent de Paul.

As a reflection of the whole Family of God, members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic rule.

Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing all works of charity and good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served, because in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

St. Gregory the Great Parish’s - St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVDP)

Our ministry includes our own parish community, giving assistance to people

on a temporary basis when emergencies occur or a need exists. We assist in keeping food on the table, and may help with other expenses. We participate in SVDP’s Back to School Drive, Bundle Sunday clothing drive, Blanket Sunday, Winter on Wheels, and holiday food drives. Our conference also volunteers at the Father Michael Wittman Ozanam Neighborhood Center, at Christ the King Parish, in East Cleveland. This center distributes food and clothing on Saturdays to those in need from South Euclid, Cleveland Heights, East Cleveland, Cleveland and Richmond Heights. We also volunteer as Math and English tutors at Apex Academy, a charter school on the campus of Christ the King Parish. If you are interested in joining us, please call our SVDP Society Hotline, 216-382-7601, ext. 28. One of our members will return your call.
