St Vincent DePaul Society (SVDP)
SVDP meets monthly to discuss how they can best meet the corporal needs of people in the Corte Madera-Larkspur area. Volunteers visit client homes and help to work toward preventing homelessness.
Thrift Shop
For over 27 years, this ministry has been fundraising for the needs of both St. Patrick Church and School. Volunteers staff the shop, organize donations, and greet customers with a smile! Volunteer hours are flexible!
Mission Statement
The mission of the St. Vincent de Paul Conference of St. Patrick Parish is to help prevent homelessness in our Larkspur/Corte Madera community by providing temporary, stop-gap assistance. Our all-volunteer membership meets in person with neighbors in need to offer friendship, support and help with food, rent, medical expenses, utilities, car repairs, insurance – whatever is required to get them stable again and keep them housed.
Funding for our work comes from generous donors who are parishioners of St. Patrick Parish, as well as community organizations, local businesses and our annual fund-raising raffle. One hundred percent of donations go to assisting neighbors in need.
We are always seeking new volunteers who can offer their time and talent to the work of neighbors helping neighbors in the spirit of Jesus Christ.
If you are interested in helping with this important worthwhile Ministry, please contact the parish office at 415-924-0600, for information about volunteering.
The St. Patrick Conference, active since 1947, is one of 4,500 parish conferences of the St. Vincent de Paul Society operating in the U.S.
The St. Vincent de Paul Society, founded in Paris in 1830, is an international organization with 48,000 conferences in 155 countries around the world.
