OUR VINCENTIANS SERVICE AND SPIRITUALITY
For more than 100 years, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Rockford Diocesan Council has provided financial assistance, resources, hope and friendship to families and individuals in need.
Our members, known as Vincentians, volunteer their time, talents and resources to provide a compassionate and supportive presence to the forgotten, suffering and deprived. They are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level, united in a spirit of charity, humility, and sharing.
Working together in spirituality, friendship and service, in 2023-2024 our Vincentians provided:
$2,624,641 of financial assistance $591,290 of in-kind assistance 18.577 person-to-person visits 50,511 people served
The thing we have to remember about statistics is that these represent real people and real families, many of whom are one crisis away from losing everything. When we meet with our neighbors in need, our first priority is to convey God's love and hope; and, secondly, to offer some tangible assistance.
Please consider making a donation. Your gift will be a lifeline to our neighbors in need.
