Faith in Action
Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Our mission is to feed the hungry and care for the poor. Guided by the Holy Spirit, we pledge to pursue this mission by cooking a casserole meal each month for Camillus House, from the comfort of your home. To be effective, this ministry requires obedience and faithfulness to serve God by serving the poor.
Led by Ana and William Drew and Ileana Rodriguez, the group prepares casserole meals at their own homes each month, using three different (alternated) recipes. The casseroles are dropped off at the parish hall parking lot once a month.
Meeting Dates/Location: The group is contacted once a month via email, text message, or phone call and told what meal to prepare.

Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Mission Statement: The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a Catholic lay organization whose members join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person assistance to those in need. Description: The operational means to fulfill the Mission Statement is primarily provided through short term economic assistance, usually in the form of food vouchers, rent / mortgage assistance, or utility bill payments. The parish level of the SVDP, the ‘Conference’, shares in longer term assistance (e.g., housing, homeless shelter, Thrift Stores, job training, etc.) by providing economic ‘sharing’ support to higher levels of the Society (District Councils, Diocesan councils) and by direct economic assistance to National Councils affected by geographic disasters such as tornadoes, flooding, hurricanes, etc. Income for the BT SVDP Conference consists of parishioner donations placed in the stationary ‘Poor Box’ at the entrance to the church, and parishioner’s donations to the ‘Poor Baskets’ that are held by the ushers following each Sunday Mass and the Saturday Vigil Masses. Meeting Dates/Location: The Blessed Trinity SVDP Conference meets every Sunday, following the 8:30 AM Mass, at the conference room of the parish office. This is a ‘mini’ meeting to meet with clients that have contacted the parish office during the preceding week, asking for assistance. Full-scale structured meetings are usually held monthly with email notification sent to members. For more information: Call the parish office at 305-871-5780.
