The St. Vincent de Paul Society is a volunteer Catholic lay organization comprised of men and women who provide comfort and assistance to those in need. Our local group is based here at St. Patrick Catholic Church. The group assists with food, rent, utilities, and other urgent requirements, after making a home visit to assess needs. They offer what assistance they can through your generosity. They listen to and pray with and for the individuals. They collect food from the church each Sunday. They meet the first Tuesday of each month. This organization is Christ to those in need in South Tampa. If helping the poor and those in difficult circumstances touches your heart, then you may be called to aid this group. If you feel you have a call to serve the poor and are willing to help us, please contact 813-839-5337 ext. 174
