St. Vincent de Paul Society

Picture
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul provides services to those in need and does not discriminate based on race, color, religion, or orientation. Those we serve are one in likeness in their desperate need for assistance.

St. Vincent de Paul Society helps those of our brothers and sisters in Caldwell County with emergency financial assistance for electric/gas bills, transient shelter or food from their food pantry. St. Vincent de Paul members are volunteers and have their own jobs, therefore clients are required to call their answering machine at 512-395-5005- leave their name, needs and a return phone number where
​
they can be reached to set up an appointment.
​ ***Please be advised that the parish office staff is not responsible for appointments, messages, food pantry or financial assistance.

St. Vincent de Paul Society- Are you looking for ways to experience God?  It can be difficult.  God is a spiritual being.  How do you experience a “spiritual being?” Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul invite you to share in their ministry of experiencing God in the poor. Holy Scripture tells us:  “The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth.”  (John 1: 14) We see Christ in the poor and when we see Christ we experience God. Is it time for you to really live your religious convictions and give something back for all you have received? New volunteers are always needed.
​
