They take no money whatsoever from the Bishops’ and Cardinals’ funds, only the poor box and private donations. They receive no money from the government. They work with Government Social Service Agencies and with private charities.
All their members are volunteers. They work in small councils throughout the world providing help for the needy and providing spiritual comfort to the afflicted.
They visit the poorest of the poor in the worst neighborhoods and pray with individuals and families and provide assistance.
They are looked down upon and ignored by the paid bureaucrats of leftist groups funded by the Catholic Church.
That group is new for me. Thank-you for the info and God Bless.
I LOVE St. Vincent de Paul!!! They REALLY HELP people and waste no money.
We have a St Vincent de Paul Society in my parish. Our 5th Sunday second collection goes to them.
They give out no cash but instead pay utility bills, rent, buy groceries, etc.
Since the parish started online donations, I expect SVdP to receive more money in the future.
