Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Parishioners in our Holy Innocents St. Vincent de Paul Conference (SVdP) volunteer to help others in need throughout our community. The Vincentians make home visits to assist the needy by offering compassion and financial help. The conference receives funding from the donations of our parishioners and meets on the second Tuesday of each month at 7:00 P.M. in the church office. For more information about SVdP, and to learn how you can volunteer, please call the office at 425-788-1400.
