The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is once again very grateful for your donations. This year through our Back-to-school program, we were able to help 110 students get ready for school by providing Walmart gift cards. We helped 15 high school students get a head start by providing them refurbished laptops.
We are always looking for volunteers. If you’re interested please fill-out a volunteer form or for more information, call or text us at 905-875-7995 or email at ssvp.stbenedictsconference@gmail.com.
Thank you again for being a faithful partner in serving the poor and marginalized in our community

Who Is My Neighbor?
“And who is my neighbor?” This quote prompted the parable of the Good Samaritan (Luke 10: 29-37) which was a story of special personal significance to Frederic Ozanam, founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. This parable asks us to stop and think about our brothers and sisters in need. We are asked to look to our brothers and sisters in the world and to see the face of Jesus in them. Our neighbor is the one in need, the one who looks to us with hope and faith, the one who hopes for Christ. Do I see Christ in the face of my neighbor– and does my neighbor see the face of Christ in me? Do you feel the calling to help those who are less fortunate? Do you ever ask yourself “I wish I could help?”. Well, you can! No matter of your age or your skill if you have a few hours a month to spare join the Society of St. Vincent De Paul at our parish. If you are interested in making a difference and would like to find out more of what we do, please call us at 905-875-7995 or email us at ssvp.stbenedictsconference@gmail.com .
