The Society of St Vincent de Paul is an international voluntary organization in the Catholic Church, founded in 1844 for the sanctification of its members by personal service of the poor. The Society numbers about 800,000 members in some 140 countries worldwide. 

Here at St. Clare’s, our chapter is also focused on service to the poor through many activities. Our most active corporal works are focused around the St. Clare’s Food Panty. Through the dedication of 31 volunteers under the direction on John Petrullo, the Pantry provides monthly food packages for over 50 families. The pantry also responds to food emergencies for families in need. The Pantry also provides special holiday meals and gifts for the families during the holiday season.
