  • St. Vincent de Paul conference

    November 2024 update

    We wish to thank our fellow parishioners for the tremendous outpouring of support for our mission this past year. You made a difference to residents in Fife, Milton and Edgewood who sought assistance with housing and utilities. 128 families avoided potential eviction and utility shutoff because of your willingness to give.


    We added 3 new members to our roster of Vincentians, and are always ready to welcome more individuals to a long tradition of ministry to our neighbors that began in 1996.


    Our mission

    St. Vincent de Paul serves the elderly and needy in our community in providing assistance with food, rent, utilities or prescription medication. If you are in need, please call
