Serving Others
Serving others is central to our faith. Through ministries like the St. Vincent de Paul Society, our parish lives out Christ’s call to care for those in need—strengthening our community and deepening our mission of love and service.
St. Vincent DePaul Society
The St. Vincent de Paul Society at St. Anthony of Padua Parish is a compassionate outreach ministry dedicated to serving individuals and families facing hardship in our community.
Through the continued generosity of parish members and volunteers, we provide support such as food, clothing, and basic necessities to help our neighbors navigate difficult times with dignity and hope.
