“The Spirit of the Lord is upon me, because he has anointed me to bring glad tidings to the poor. He has sent me to proclaim liberty to captives and recovery of sight to the blind, to let the oppressed go free, and to proclaim a year acceptable to the Lord.” Luke 4:18-19

The local conference of St. Vincent de Paul has been expanded to include our own Christ the Teacher University Parish, and it is now called the St. Vincent de Paul – Christ the Teacher / St. Mary Conference. There are many ways to get involved with this worldwide Catholic organization committed to alleviating the the suffering of the poor:

Work a food pantry shift Tuesdays 3 to 6 p.m.
Help unload food trucks, two mornings a month
Help stock the pantry shelves
Pick up Panera bread donations on Saturday nights
Join another volunteer in a home visit
Monitor the help line
Help with fundraisers
Help with the clothing drive in April
Help at the SDVP Clothing, Furniture, and Toy Store

In 2006, St. Vincent de Paul in DeKalb provided over $15,000 in emergency financial assistance, free clothing, and referral assistance to 123 clients based on visits to their homes.
