Serving Christ in Our Neighbors
Society of St. Vincent de Paul – Annunciation Conference
“For I was hungry and you gave me food… a stranger and you welcomed me.” (Matthew 25:35–36)
These familiar and comforting words of our Lord are at the very heart of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. At Annunciation Catholic Church, our Vincentians strive every day to recognize Christ in those who are struggling—and to respond with compassion, dignity, and love.
Thanks to the generous support of our parishioners and community partners, the Annunciation Conference can provide both material assistance and spiritual support to neighbors in need right here in our community. As economic hardship continues and many traditional safety nets shrink, the needs we encounter are growing. Your prayers, time, and generosity make this ministry possible—and we are deeply grateful.
