"Living the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, and joy."

Formed in 1833 in honour of Saint Vincent de Paul, the Saint with a heart for the poor, members of the society went in teams to help the poor in homes, on the streets, in the hospitals and in the asylums, practicing the values to see Christ in anyone who suffers and offer assistance to those in need.  

Today, we operate independently and internationally but are responsible to Rome, with over one million "Vincentians" serving needs in 134 countries on 5 continents. 

Operating through St. Patrick's Parish in Niagara Falls,  we are a grassroots organization committed to turning words into actions. We strive to be a helpline for anyone in Niagara Falls requiring basic needs such as food and clothing, and we distribute assistance by meeting with those in need.

Through our volunteer work, we are committed to several initiatives & projects. These include:

• • Summer Camps for Local Youth

  • Outreach Programs

  • Financial support to Project Share

  • Assistance to Soup Kitchen

  • Necessities through St. Vincent's Store

  • Special Events including a Christmas Program and Delta Bingo events
