Welcome to the St Vincent de Paul Society
Gosport and District
St Vincent de Paul - The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international Catholic organisation of lay men and women who seek, in a spirit of justice and charity and by a person-to-person involvement. The aim of the Society is to relieve suffering. Material or moral help is given through person-to-person contact by members to individuals or families. Assistance is essentially local and SVDP is active in our parishes. It is adapted according to the particular needs, places, and circumstances. Members seek through prayer, meditation on scriptures and Church teachings, through their daily lives and in their relationship with those in need, to bear witness to the love of Christ. The Society does not attempt to convert the needy to Catholicism, nor does it limit its aid to Catholics. Members , therefore strive to foster, to develop, and to favour all means by which the fundamental virtues of faith and charity can be kept alive within us and around us.
