WHO WE ARE AND
WHAT WE DO

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a lay organization of men and women who strive  to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those in need. Although it is aligned with the Catholic church, you do not need to be Catholic to join the Society or to turn to it for help. We help people of all faiths and those of no faith at all.

 

The prime objective of our conference is to assist our “neighbors in need” who require spiritual support as well as temporary financial support for critical expenses such as rent, utilities, and transportation. Our goal is to help keep them housed, safe, and secure. We serve those within the parish boundaries of St. Catherine of Siena and St. Mary (Gilberts), covering West Dundee, Sleepy Hollow, and parts of Gilberts, East Dundee, Carpentersville, and Elgin.

WELCOME TO THE SOCIETY OF
ST. VINCENT DE PAUL - ST. CATHERINE OF SIENA CONFERENCE

A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need.  We help people of all faiths or no faith.  We don't ask about religious beliefs or affiliations.  We serve all.

President-General Adolpe Baudon, in his Circular Letter of January 1, 1877, writes:

"It is laid down in our Rule, and it has been always understood among us, that in uniting to serve our masters the poor, as St. Vincent de Paul expresses it, our object is not only to relieve material misery, a very laudable purpose in itself, but to aspire, especially, through the practice of that most sublime of virtues "charity" to render ourselves better and more fervent Christians, and to make our poor enter on the same path, if we have the happiness of succeeding."

Members of St. Vincent de Paul offer person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering.  We usually do this in the form of a home visit where we meet and discuss the specifics of the situation.  Following the home visit, our team will determine how we can help.
