Society of St Vincent de Paul

Today, volunteer members of SVP are people from all walks of life who want to make a difference to the lives of people in need. “The question which is agitating the world today is a social one. It is a struggle between those who have nothing and those who have too much. It is a violent clash of opulence and poverty, which is shaking the ground under our feet. Our duty as Christians is to throw ourselves between these two camps in order to accomplish by love what justice alone cannot do”. Those words, spoken in 1834 by the Founder of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, Frédéric Ozanam, remain just as relevant in today’s world. https://www.vincentianfamily.ie/socie...
