The Society of  St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.

As a reflection of the whole family of God, Members, who are known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level.

Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a basic rule.

Organized locally, Vincentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.

Vincentians are called to holiness by striving to conform to the example set by Jesus Christ, by doing God's will, and devoting themselves to the service of God's suffering and poor, and when we attend to the poor in the spirit of St. Vincent, we minister to Jesus Christ himself.

We of The St. Vincent de Paul Society are truly grateful to our parish of Mary, Queen of Heaven for their generous contributions  to the poor - both monetarily and with the food collections - for the needy among us. 

The St. Vincent de Paul Society helps those in need of assistance with the following items:

• Food
• Furniture
• Pharmacy
• Utilities
• Rent

A person does not have to be a parishioner at Mary, Queen of Heaven to receive help from the Mary, Queen of Heaven St. Vincent de Paul Society. They simply must live within our boundaries. The goal of the Society is to provide help to anyone in need. Our clients are referred to us through the St. Vincent de Paul main office via telephone or online request. We make personal home visits to our clients in order to assess their needs.

If you in need of help call our Assistance Office Help Line at 859-341-3219. The Assistance Office is open from 10 AM – 3 PM, Monday through Friday.
