Society of
St. Vincent de paul

The mission of the Society of St. Vincent De Paul at St. Mary Magdalene is to serve those who will go hungry and/or need a financial boost to get them through these tough times. We are blessed by the generosity of our parishioners who make it possible.

 “… for I was hungry and you gave me food.
I was thirsty and you gave me drink …”

- MT 25:34-46
