St. Vincent DePaul Society
The St. Vincent DePaul Society is an
international organization comprised of lay
persons whose objectives involve them in social
and charitable work through their services to
the poor. It is open to anyone wishing to live
their faith by loving and serving their
neighbor.
The Society's charitable services,
administered through our network of parish
volunteer groups called "Conferences," are part
of the life of the Catholic Church.
Its ministry, through person-to-person
contact, encompasses every form of aid that
alleviates suffering and promotes the dignity
and integrity of mankind. It serves everyone
regardless of creed, opinion, color or origin.
Faithful to its founders, the Society
constantly strives to renew and adapt itself to
the changing conditions of the world. Members,
united in the same spirit of poverty and
sharing, form with those they help one and the
same family throughout the world. The Vincentian
is here to SERVE and not to JUDGE.
In Lincoln, Vincentian volunteers answer
calls for aid that come in through the Society's
Help Line. Nearly every request for aid is
accompanied by a home visit. Volunteers also
meet the needs of the poor by running the St.
Vincent de Paul Store & Warehouse at 1911 R
Street.
