ST. VINCENT
DE PAUL SOCIETY
PURPOSE: As members of St. Vincent
de Paul Society, our students, in a spirit of justice and
charity, help those who are most in need. No work of charity is
foreign to the Society, for its ministry, through
person-to-person contact, encompasses every form of aid that
alleviates suffering and promotes the dignity and integrity of
humankind.
MEMBERSHIP: All students are invited
to join St.Vincent de Paul Society! Meetings, which are held
during study hall, are announced at school. Students may
contact Mrs. Judy Kampwerth or Mr. Jim Darr to receive a pass to
attend the meeting.

leaders for
demonstrating their support of our students
by attending our liturgical events.

greeting cards for the
residents of our area nursing homes.
Missions
All members are involved in this group, for it is our main

collections, collect the envelopes,
and assist with counting and
recording the donations.
~ Members select the recipients of special mission
collections (for individual or
group causes).

MISSION CAMPAIGNS:
Warm Hearts Campaign
Students and faculty members who donate a dollar receive a
heart, on which they write their name, to display in the second
wing. The funds are then donated to pay the utility bills of a
local family in need of assistance.
Organ Donor Campaign
Students and faculty members are provided with information on
organ donation and an opportunity to register as organ donors.
