The St. Vincent
de Paul Society of St. Rose of Lima is a community of lay Catholics
whose mission is to bring rich and poor together through prayer
and action. Individuals and families who are in need and live within
the parish boundaries are urged to contact the Society for confidential
help.
Members of the
Society will arrange a visit in order to better understand the situation
and to determine what form of aid will be most helpful. In some
cases, St. Vincent de Paul Society is the only contact people have
with the Catholic Church.
The Society
can give short-term help with food, clothing, some furniture and
assistance with meeting bills such as rent, heat, utilities and
prescription medications. Additionally, when necessary, referrals
may be provided to other resources and government agencies. The
Society particularly desires to prevent homelessness.
Our goal is
to return the family members to self-sufficiency and full participation
in the community while respecting their God-given dignity. Parishioners
are urged to pray constantly for the poor and consider becoming
members of the Society.
Please call
732-303-1793 with any questions or for information on how to make
donations. We strive to be good stewards of the resources you entrust
to us. THANK YOU for your faithful support!
"Whatever
you did for one of these least brothers of mine, you did for me."
