Inspired by Gospel values, founded in 1833, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is an international organization of Catholic men and women joined together in spiritual growth through service to those who are in need and suffering. Locally, our tri-parish group serves the needy of Wayne, Union and Fayette counties to fulfill two great commandments—Love of God and Love of Neighbor. Members and volunteers assist people in need and do not discriminate against cultural, religious or political beliefs. Would you like to be a part of St. Vincent de Paul? We would love to have you join us and help in changing lives forever! For more information on how you can become involved or make a donation: contact: Tony Talbert 765-220-1572 or [email protected]
The St. Vincent dePaul furniture ministry helps families who are in need of furniture and household items in the community.

Calling all parishioners who are licensed contractors, plumbers, and electricians! Your volunteer help is needed to bring the recently purchased vacant laundromat into a new, refreshed, vital building where St. Vincent DePaul members will hold cooking, sewing, and craft workshops along with our furniture ministry and the Changing Lives Forever program for those who are in transition. One of the missions of this building is to house under one roof the many functions St. Vincent DePaul offers. If you would like to volunteer your talent to help renovate this building, please email svdp.tricountygoodsamaritans
@gmail.com.
*St. Vincent DePaul will pay for the materials you will encounter.
Our local chapter of St. Vincent de Paul has completed the purchase of an old laundromat at 1000 South E Street in Richmond. Work has already begun renovating/cleaning up the building. A large opening to the west side of the building has been completed, and an overhead door has been installed for the furniture ministry. Interior rooms will be built to provide classroom space for the upcoming “Changing Lives Forever ”program. Phase II will have a complete commercial kitchen to provide cooking classes and ultimately have items to sell. A front showroom that contains furniture and a library will be made available. If you wish to make a monetary donation, checks should be made payable to SVdP and mailed to PO Box 73, Richmond, IN 47375-0073. Meetings are held on the second Monday each month, beginning at 6:30 pm. All are welcome to join. If you have any questions, please contact President, Tony Talbert, at 765-220-1572 or email [email protected].
Then the King will say to those on his right, ‘Come, you who are blessed by my Father, inherit the kingdom prepared for you from the foundation of the world. For I was hungry and you gave me food, I was thirsty and you gave me drink, I was a stranger and you welcomed me, I was naked and you clothed me, I was sick and you visited me, I was in prison and you came to me.
