Welcome to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul

Archdiocesan Council of New Orleans

 

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul Archdiocesan Council of New Orleans has the support of many volunteer Vincentians, Staff, and Supporters whom have devoted their time and talents to make progress and growth of helping those in need a number one priority.  There are many ways in which many of these goals were reached:

 

Last year, our 500 Vincentians devoted close to 24,000 hours helping the Society as a whole to assist more than 15,000 individuals in need.  These Vincentians came from diverse backgrounds and included blue-and-white collar professionals, students, and retirees who exemplified the true testament of God's love to the poor and hurting.

The Six Districts and the Community Pharmacy that oversee our Vincentian outreach through 30 Conferences continue to work closely together as the Society's outreach grew on a daily basis.

Our Ozanam Inn Shelter program continues to service more than 90 beds and provide more than 600 meals per day to the homeless, including women and children.

One additional program that brings hope and stability to the Society is the Adult Learning Center for Empowerment/GED preparation.  Student ages begin at 17 with the oldest student at age 75, who received a 5th grade education.  This particular student was overjoyed to learn of such a program that was offered and has given her an opportunity to get a high school diploma.

Our Outreach would have been difficult if not for the generous support of our donors, both financial and in-kind.

 

In the Spirit of St. Vincent and Blessed Frederic Ozanam!
