The St. Philip conference of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is vibrant and active in our local community. Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, St. Vincent de Paul.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness to God's love by embracing all the works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction among those served because Vincentians see in them the face of Christ.
St. Vincent de Paul Society members perform their service confidentially to poor and needy families in our area without regard to their religious affiliation. The Society operates a substantial food bank and also regularly delivers household items and winter wear to Preston County, WV. Members also volunteer at the Greater Pittsburgh Area Food Bank, visit shut-ins and provide temporary help to the down-and-out. The group meets every Tuesday night at 6:30 P.M. in St. Philip Hope House .
If you or anyone you know needs assistance or if you want to join the Society, please call 412-444-8140, or email us at
