St Vincent De Paul Catholic

In 1976, Mrs. Clara Cherry, the housekeeper of the rectory at St. Vincent de Paul, answered a knock on the back door. It was the first of what would be many requests for food that have come to define this outreach ministry. 

Our goal is to provide a hot meal to anyone that shows up at the backdoor. We offer compassion without judgement. We ask no questions and make no demands - and we respect the dignity of each guest.

With every meal shared, we not only nourish the body, but also bear witness to God’s love - trusting that even the smallest act of kindness can be a spark of grace in someone’s life.

The sources on which we currently rely to provide food and support have been stretched to capacity, and we must ask for additional funding to maintain the ministry and its vital role in the community. Thank you & God bless.
