St. Katharine Drexel Conference of St. Vincent de Paul Society: 920-791-7158
Our parish is home to the St. Katharine Drexel CONFERENCE. Members visit, in pairs, those requesting aid. During the visit (usually at the home of the requester) the overall situation is discussed as objectively as possible. The goal is to get the requester through a temporary problem and back to a stable living situation. Occasionally simply listening compassionately is enough to revive their hope. Often an infusion of funds (all donated) is used to restore hope in the future. There are no paid members of the Conference, all are volunteers. 100% of donated funds are used to aid those in need. All expenses are covered by members donations.
Biweekly meetings are held on Mondays at 7:00 PM at the Parish Center.
