Our Programs
At St. Patrick’s chapter, our mission is to be a network of friends inspired by Gospel values—growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with people in need. Our mission goes beyond providing resources; we seek to empower those we serve by listening, walking alongside, and advocating for systemic change.
What we do...
Comprehensive Care for Those in Need
Our chapter offers a broad range of programs designed to address immediate needs and promote lasting change for individuals and families facing hardship. We believe in a holistic approach to poverty that combines direct aid with advocacy and community-building.
Home Visits & Personal Encounters
The heart of our ministry is the home visit—a compassionate, face-to-face encounter where Vincentian volunteers provide food, clothing, utility assistance, and a listening ear. These visits foster trust and understanding, allowing us to offer support tailored to each family’s unique situation.
Emergency Assistance Programs
We run regular drives and emergency aid programs supplying food baskets, clothing, coats, and school supplies, especially during holidays and seasons of increased need. Our partnerships with local agencies enhance our ability to respond quickly and effectively.
Community Events & Outreach
Events like our annual Trunk-or-Treat, holiday meals, and community cleanups not only provide resources but also strengthen the fabric of our parish and neighborhood. These gatherings create a space for fellowship and collective action
Advocacy and Education
We recognize that poverty is not just an individual problem but a societal issue. Our chapter participates in raising awareness about homelessness, hunger, and social justice, partnering with local organizations to advocate for policies that promote equity and dignity.
Volunteer Training and Support
Every Vincentian receives ongoing formation in the Society’s spirituality and practical skills to ensure compassionate, effective ministry. Our volunteers are supported through prayer groups, workshops, and retreats that deepen their faith and resolve.
