The St. Vincent de Paul Food Pantry is now open for curbside pickups!
Mondays and Wednesdays 10am-12pm
A volunteer will be available to assist any person in need of food. A food checklist will be given to each person who stops at the church's main entrance. The list will then be collected and the volunteer will fill the shopping bags based on the list provided. The bags will then be brought to your car or placed outside the entrance doors for pickup.
If you have another assistance need, you may contact the St. Vincent de Paul Helpline at 856-797-7352.
Our Food Drives are now taking place regularly on the first weekend of the month! Thank you to everyone for your generosity!
St. Vincent de Paul was born in France in 1581 and became a priest in the year 1600. Sometime after his ordination, Vincent was captured by pirates. He worked as a slave for two years before miraculously escaping. After spending some time in Rome, he traveled to Paris, where he remained for the rest of his life. While in Paris, Vincent met Cardinal Pierre de Berulle, who appointed him pastor of a church in Clichy, France. After serving there for a time, Vincent dedicated the rest of his life to assisting and serving the poor. In 1625, he founded his own religious order, the Congregation of the Missions (also sometimes known as the Lazarites or Vincentians). This group of missionary priests worked tirelessly to serve those in need. St. Vincent de Paul died in Paris on September 27, 1660 and was canonized by Pope Clement XII in 1737. He is the patron saint of charities.
