St. Vincent de Paul
-
St. Francis of Assisi Parish encourages all to live out the Social Justice teachings of our faith.
Other resources can be found at the Office for Social Concerns at the Diocese of Columbus.
St. Vincent de Paul – Home visits are made to those in certain zip codes who are in need of both spiritual support as well as a needs assessment for material items for their homes or perhaps help with rent or bills – for a limited time. Training is required for the assessment. Prospective clients call our St. Vincent de Paul number to discuss their needs and after an assessment is made members determine the level of monetary support that can be given. If you are not trained to provide an assessment, you can always assist spiritually and personally with other needs of the client.

St. Vincent de Paul members also offer material, financial and/or volunteer assistance to the following organizations:- NNEMAP – We help supply the NNEMAP food pantry with food and personal hygiene items through drives at St. Francis as well as with monetary donations. It is a wonderful experience to personally help the shoppers in a variety of ways.
