2023 Christmas Hamper Program
About Us
Founded in 1833, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) is an international lay organization, united in the mission to serve persons in need. In Canada alone, the SSVP helps more than 350,000 people each year.
Our Mission: To Live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.
Our founding activity is the Home Visit. Through these visits, our members, known as Vincentians, establish personal relationships with persons in need by offering material assistance, as well as friendship and understanding.
St. Patrick’s conference was formed in March, 1989. In 2022, our conference helped 160+ families (400+ individuals), in some instances more than once.
Given the applicable resources and considering each circumstance, we provide:
- material support in the form of food hampers and financial assistance
- direction to other SSVP conferences when applicants are not in our area of service
- resource information for services beyond our capacity
