St. Vincent de Paul Society is a lay Catholic ministry that promotes the spiritual growth of its members through service to the poor. Your donation allows trained volunteers to visit people who are in need of food or finance assistance that will help get them through a tough time. The ministry’s emergency line (423) 999-6332 is very busy right now with the employment fallout from the COVID-19 pandemic. To learn more about being trained to be a home visit volunteer, please call 423-463-8324. Their food pantry at OLPH is most in need of:
canned tuna, vegetables, and fruit, cereal, macaroni and cheese, peanut butter, jelly, pasta and spaghetti sauce. Please place non-perishable food items in the basket in our Basilica church vestibule.
