Our Mission
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization whose mission is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.
As Vincentians, we:
• see Christ in anyone who suffers;
• come together as a family;
• have personal contact with the poor;
• help in all possible ways.
Our logo
-
The fish is the symbol of Christianity and, in this case, represents the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul.
-
The eye of the fish is the vigilant eye of God seeking to help the poor in our midst.
-
The crossing at the tail or the tie-knot represents unity and oneness among members and also the union with the poor.
-
The circle bounding the logo signifies the global or worldwide stature of the SSVP, an international Society
-
The words serviens in spe mean to serve in hope, the hope that comes from Our Lord Jesus Christ
