St.Vincent de Paul

BUNDLE DRIVE 

Society St. Vincent de Paul at Most Precious Blood is having a bundle drive for gently used clothing only on Saturday and Sunday September 9/10. Clean out those closets! A St. Vincent de Paul truck will be available in the parking lot for all donations. 

Society St. Vincent de Paul Guadalupe Conference and Society St. Vincent de Paul Most Precious Blood are requesting your help with a donation of canned soup or ingredients for making soup (broth, barley, lentils, noodles) to stock our shelves. We will have boxes at each entrance of the churches on the week-ends in September. Thank you for your support. 

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization of men and
women whose commitment is to serve Christ in the poor with love, respect,
justice and joy.
 
The Vincentians of our Conference assist the poor and needy of our neighbourhood with confidential, personal help providing food, clothing and househod goods.   Guidance and advocacy to other social assistance agencies within our community is also offered.
Our service is non-denominational.
 If you are interested in becoming a member of our SSVP Conference, please call the Parish Office and the secretary will forward the information so that we can contact you. We always welcome new adult applicants to assist in our deliveries, grocery shopping and general tasks.  
Deliveries take place Saturday mornings 9:30. am-11:00 am. Shopping takes place during the week.
 
We service the area bordered by the CN tracks to the south and west,
the river to the north and the west side of Lauzon to the east. Vouchers
are also rendered to purchase goods at our SSVP retail stores. 
 
If you require assistance, please phone the Parish Office 519-945-4133 EXT 238
