Put your faith into action. Find friendship and purpose.
At St. Vincent de Paul, our members—known as Vincentians—and volunteers bring God’s love to life through compassion, friendship, and service. Together, we build relationships with neighbors facing difficult times, listen to their stories, and offer practical help rooted in respect for every person’s dignity.
Membership is an invitation to serve—and to grow.
Vincentians join local parish-based groups called conferences, where members come together for prayer, reflection, fellowship, and service. Through these shared experiences, they deepen their spiritual lives, support one another, and discover how helping a neighbor can transform their own lives, too.
You don’t need special expertise to get started. Training, guidance, and support are provided, and experienced members help you learn along the way.
Find the service that speaks to you.
Vincentians serve in many ways: partnering with another member to visit neighbors in their homes, helping with needs such as rent or utilities, delivering food baskets, serving meals, stocking food pantries, or offering companionship to someone who is homebound or living in a nursing home. Members also contribute through organizing, administrative support, and other work behind the scenes.
You are encouraged to find opportunities that fit your interests, strengths, and comfort level—work you enjoy and find meaningful. Whatever your role, you’ll be part of a team committed to bringing hope to others.
There’s a place for you here.
Our local conferences welcome people ready to share their hearts, hands, and talents. Whether you begin as a volunteer or feel called to explore Vincentian membership, join a community of more than 500 members throughout Waukesha County who put “Neighbors Helping Neighbors” into action.
