The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization whose mission is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society provides outreach in our neighbourhoods to clients in need and providing food vouchers, bus tickets, gift cards, food bags, bag lunches and vouchers for clothing, furniture and household goods.
Clients must visit the church relating to the parish boundaries that they live in (Chatham only). To find out which boundaries you live in, see the map below or contact the office by calling 519-352-9483.
If you live within the boundaries of St. Agnes Parish or Blessed Sacrament Parish, vouchers are available on Thursdays from 1:00-3:00pm at Blessed Sacrament Church.
If you live within the boundaries of St. Ursula and St. Joseph Parishes, clients may visit the Spirit and Life Centre, located beside St. Joseph Parish, on Fridays from 11:30am - 1:30pm for vouchers.
BROWN BAG LUNCH
There is a Brown Bag Lunch distributed from 11:15am to 11:45am on Fridays. You do not need to live within St. Ursula and St. Joseph boundaries for the Brown Bag lunch, it is for anyone.
