The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is a volunteer lay Catholic organization. Members are called Vincentians and come from all ages, socioeconomic backgrounds, and cultures. No act of charity is too small for Vincentians. 

Through the Saint Maria Goretti Conference of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, we will honor the mission of the Society by offering assistance to those who have fallen upon times of hardship and personal crisis. We will assist those individuals and families that need basic necessities such as food, utility, and rent payments through home visits of two people. Those we assist are called "Neighbors".

The home visit is what separates the Society from other social agencies. The role of the Vincentian is not only to provide financial assistance but to be loving, supportive, and compassionate. It is through serving those in need that we live the gospel message of loving our neighbor.

We work in conjunction with, and in support of, the existing Social Ministry program at Saint Maria Goretti Catholic Church.
 
 As new clients are received and they are in need of food or baby items, we direct them to become a client of our SMG St. Anthony's Food Pantry and St. Therese of the Child Jesus Baby's World. At times, due to the circumstances of our clients without transportation, we will deliver their first set of food and/or baby items.
 
 The zip codes we currently serve are 76010, 76011, 76012, and 76013. Saint Maria Goretti Parishioners are exempt from zip code coverage, and we go where ever they reside. As advocates of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, we visit our friends and neighbors in the privacy of their homes.
 
Our meetings are held the first and third Thursday of each month on the parish campus in a pre-designated location. Our neighbor visits are done in pairs at the neighbors home based on a pre-arranged date and time.
 
 We work hand in hand with all other faith traditions and government agencies, as in Charity we don't compete, but complement each other:
