SVP (St Vincent de Paul)

The St Vincent de Paul Society (or as it is often known - the SVP), is an

international Christian voluntary lay organisation dedicated to tackling poverty and

disadvantage by providing practical assistance to those in need – irrespective of

ideology, faith, ethnicity, age or gender. It seeks, in the spirit of justice and charity, to help those who are suffering poverty in whatever form.

Our parish SVP group, known as a “conference,” focuses on the following activities:

• Visiting the sick and housebound
• Providing transport to church when required
• Providing financial support when needed and if possible.  
• Collecting to support prison inmates
