Holy Family, Southport: The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP)

St Vincent de Paul Logo

Founded in Paris in the 1930's, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul now has groups in 130 countries and over 900 000 members.

There are both material and social needs which the SVP can relieve as part of our person-to-person commitment. Members of the society visit families, elderly people and those in hospitals or residential homes to help to combat the loneliness and isolation felt by many.

Although the SVP is a Catholic society and works mainly at Parish level, membership is open to men and women from any demonination, since by working together in works of charity, we hope to reduce prejudice and to foster an understanding betweeen races and cultures.
