The St. Vincent De Paul 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 principally through our network of parish volunteer groups called "Conferences," is part of the life of the Catholic Church and is closely associated with other Catholic Services and diocesan organizations involved in lay ministry.     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.
