Members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (or "Vincentians") are men and women of all ages who strive to grow spiritually by offering service to individuals in need. They are blessed with an awareness that their blessings (time, talent or treasure) are to be shared with others in need. They are united by a spirit of poverty, humility, and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings, and adherence to a basic Rule.
 
Members are energized by the awareness that service to those in need is an encounter with Jesus. Members are aware that many in the local community are suffering. They collaborate to relieve need and address its causes. An essential precept of the Society's work is to provide help while maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those who are served. No work of charity is foreign to the Society. To quote Saint Vincent de Paul: "Charity is infinitely inventive."
 
The Saint Colman Conference of the Saint Vincent de Paul Society meets in the Rectory periodically throughout the year. Please contact the rectory (610-642-0545; stcolmanchurch@gmail.com.)
