Saint Vincent De Paul Society

2022 SVdP Walk for the Poor

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international lay-Catholic charity organization whose mission is to serve the poor and suffering by visiting, befriending, and helping  them in whatever way we can, with a minimum of red tape and delay.  By doing so, we also help ourselves to grow in faith and charity.  The Society was founded in Paris in 1833.  Our parish conference was established at St. Columban Catholic Church in Yelm in 2003.  It is staffed entirely by volunteers.
