“Go to the poor: you will find God.”
― St. Vincent de PaulSociety of St. Vincent De Paul - St. Julie's Conference
“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 the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, St. Vincent de Paul.” *
The Vincentians of St. Julie's respond to local families and individuals in need through one-on-one meetings to develop trust and understanding. During the visit, we determine how the ministry may be most effective in providing help with food, clothing, rent, utilities, and other basic needs.* US Manual Society of St. Vincent de Paul 1999

The Vincentians have been blessed by Saint Julie Billiart parishioners with gifts of monies and food for our neighbors, the friends we serve in the community.

Building faith
Each month our Vincentian brothers and sisters gather together to read the Sunday gospel and reflect on the readings. We pray together and support each other in our faith journey.
Each meeting begins and ends with prayer, in between we discuss projects and how better to serve the community of Newbury Park.

“You will find out that charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.”
― St. Vincent de Paul
