Originating in Paris in
1833, the organisation has developed globally, following the
tenets set down by a band of young Christian men, led by Frederick
Ozanam. Under the patronage of St Vincent de Paul, they vowed
to pray together and do charitable works for the sake of the
poor and these basic principles are still maintained today.
In our own parish, the
SVP Society comprises eight parishioners who are responsible
for a multitude of unseen works of charity throughout the
local community.
If you would like more information on the
work of the society, details on how to become a member or
have any goods that you would like to donate for distribution
to the poor of the local community,
