Patrons and Founders
St. Vincent de Paul was on a path to a comfortable life as Chaplin in France when he was called to help people of poverty. He responded by organizing charitable priest and lay women organizations to help the poor. His feast day is September 27. In Paris, France the strong and faithful Catholic voice of Blessed Fredrick Ozanam emerged. His compassion and heart for the poor led him to establish the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) in 1833. Today over 8000 conferences in 150 countries are dedicated to our mission.
At St. Martin de Porres Sister Yvonne Feeley, who has since retired, founded our Food Pantry. On April 11, 2011 the SVdP Conference was formed and incorporated the Food Pantry.
