helping those in need
in our parish and community-
Since 2016, we have been blessed with a very active SVdP Conference here at St. Daniel. The Conference is a vital part of the community, offering emergency support and other resources to help enhance the lives of the less fortunate. In doing so, they also enhance their own lives through prayer and acts of mercy.
Our St. Vincent de Paul Conference is a spiritual group that does charitable things, not just a charitable group that does spiritual things.
Their work is most often done behind-the-scenes. But your support is integral to the good work they do. So please take a few moments to read the information below to learn more about our St. Daniel SVdP Conference, the families they assist, and how you can help them to help those most in need.

who we help
Assistance through a SVdP Conference is meant to meet emergency needs on a one-time basis. Those who come to us just need a helping hand.
- Like the older, single woman on disability whose sewer was blocked. She couldn’t flush her toilet, drain her tub or sink, and her sump pump was backing up into her basement. Our conference paid to have the roots cleared from her sewer line.
- Or the young mother of three who suffered a closed head injury several years ago. Two of her children are in wheelchairs due to a hereditary muscle disease, and require frequent doctor appointments. When her older chairlift-equipped van needed repairs, our conference was able to procure and pay for them.
- Or the mother of three facing eviction. She had lost employment, separated from her husband (who was not supporting the family), and her car was repossessed. Our conference got her caught up on rent and provided the family with groceries and spiritual support. Shortly after, she found a good job and began the reconciliation process with her husband.
- Or the young couple with four children between the ages of 3 and 8. Mom was pregnant, and had to quit her job due to complications. Dad was struggling to support the family on his income. They had fallen behind on housing costs and risked eviction. Our conference got them back to zero balance. The family was also adopted at Christmas by St. Daniel “angels.”
