St. Vincent de Paul

Looking for Financial Assistance from SVDP?

Please call our St. Vincent de Paul Conference at 502-815-3113.

In addition to the shelters that St Vincent de Paul provides, there is another way that we can help the needy.  Saint Bernadette is one of 47 parish-based conferences in the Louisville area, who work with people one-on-one. The goal of this service is to deal with initial emergencies with those in our own community.
 
Time:   We need adults to monitor and respond to our phone messages on a daily basis. The time commitment is one week during a twelve week period, 4-8 hours/week. Flexible hours, work is done from your home.
 
Gifts and talents:  This particular ministry for St. Vincent de Paul is for adults only.  Training is provided. 

2016-17 Annual Report
The Saint Bernadette Conference of Saint Vincent De Paul volunteered 676 hours helping 221 adults and children with emergency help such as rent, water, and LGE. This occurs during times of the year when other services/ministries are out of funds, people lose jobs, illness, and other special circumstances. Our parish’s financial donations help people over a hump and allows them to stay in their home. We fill in the gap so people can get on their feet. Vincentians made 14 home visits and answered 82 phone calls from people contacting us for help. We have 6 Active members, 8 Associate members and 4 parishioners who contribute financially with monthly collection envelopes. Our SVDP Conference is active within the Louisville Council: attend quarterly meetings, twin with other parishes to help clients, donate to two food pantries, and volunteer at the Soup Kitchen. Thankful for all the support from the parish, we make a point to give back. This year we donated to the StB Diaper Bank and volunteered as a group to serve one Coffee and Donut Sunday.
