St Vincent de Paul Society
There are three categories of membership of the Society.
1. Conference members are those who belong to the grassroots groups within the Society known as conferences. They live their Catholic faith in action through the spirit of Christian charity.
2. Associate members are those who are committed to the ethos, mission, aims and objects of the Society and who assist the work of the Society, but do not attend conference meetings.
3. Volunteer members are those who respect the ethos, mission, aims and objects of the Society and who volunteer in any of the Society’s works.
Conference: Meets on the 4th Thursday of the month, 7pm at Parish Centre
St Vincent de Paul’s Assistance Centre is situated at Shop 15 Riviera Plaza. People are welcomed in a clean and secure place and are treated with respect and dignity. No work of charity is foreign to conference members. They visit people in their homes, in the hospital, aged care facilities or wherever else people may be found needing aid or comfort. Members also meet and pray together at others times.
Vinnies Conference offers a way for students to participate in the Society’s transformative work. Mini Vinnies at St Mary’s School is a program designed for primary level students. We encourage participating students to live their faith in a three-pronged way: ‘See’ (education and awareness). ‘Think’ (formation and reflection) and ‘Do’ (community service and fundraising). Vinnies is looking forward to starting a Conference for secondary students at Nagle College.
