Which Path to Choose?
Volunteers are not official members, known as Vincentians, but help provide assistance to those in need.
Vincentians are active or associate members of the Society who are called by God to grow in spirituality through friendships and service.
Special Occasion allows you to turn your next event into a celebration with an impact! Tell us some dates you would like to host your event, your zip code area, and how many family and friends will be joining you.
All volunteers are required to take the virtual Safe Haven training (also known as Safe Environment) and authorize a background check.
This must be renewed every 5 years.

Vincentians
A Vincentian is the name given to a commissioned member of the Society.
Vincentians put their faith into action by responding to the needs of people regardless of race, creed, age, gender, or legal status.
The vocation of a Vincentian is to follow Christ through service to those in need and bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love.
Members show their commitment by visiting people in their homes and performing special works to alleviate the suffering of those in crisis.
