Serving Our Neighbors In Need
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVDP) is a Catholic lay organization that provides person-to-person assistance to neighbors facing hardships. Through direct service and compassionate support, our Vincentians offer food, financial aid, housing assistance, transportation, prescription support, and more, always maintaining the dignity and confidentiality of those we serve.
Our SVDP members serve the parishes of St. Patrick, St. Theodore, and St. Joseph, including residents of Wentzville and Lake St. Louis.

Who We Serve & What to ExpectIf you need food, you are welcome here.
We provide food to everyone on their first visit — including those who are experiencing homelessness.
If you live outside the St. Patrick parish boundaries, we will gladly provide food on your first visit and then share contact information for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul conference serving your area so you can receive ongoing assistance closer to home.
The St. Patrick food pantry also serves parishioners of St. Theodore Catholic Church and St. Joseph Catholic Church, as these parishes do not have food pantries and partner with us in this ministry.
For Neighbors who live within the St. Patrick parish boundaries, we may also be able to assist with utilities, rent, and other basic emergency needs, depending on available funds. Ongoing food assistance is available for those who reside within parish boundaries.

St. Vincent de Paul SundaySt. Vincent de Paul, born on April 24, 1581, in Pouy, France, was ordained a priest in 1600 and dedicated his life to aiding the poor. He established the Confraternities of Charity in 1617, founded the Congregation of the Mission in 1625, and co-founded the Daughters of Charity in 1633. He died in Paris on September 27, 1660, was canonized in 1737, and named the patron saint of charity by Pope Leo XIII.
On St. Vincent de Paul Sunday, celebrate and learn about becoming a Vincentian. Envelopes are available for contributions.
