About

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a 501c3 non-profit organization established in the Archdiocese of Galveston-Houston in 1871.

 

It includes a network of 56 parish-based chapters, known as Conferences, with more than 1,800 volunteers, two Thrift Stores and a large food network of more than 20 neighborhood pantries.

All parish-based members of the Society, known as Vincentians, community volunteers, and staff work together as ONE SOCIETY.

Essential Elements

Vision

We are a community actively living our faith by loving and providing hope to our neighbors. We envision a future where access to financial and social resources is not limited by where one lives.
