The Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers an opportunity to put faith into action. The ministry is dedicated to the spiritual growth of all its members and to serving the needy and suffering in person-to-person service. Vincentian volunteers provide short term assistance to individuals in need (rent, utility, food, clothing, diapers, emergency shelter) of all faiths in the local community. They also help pregnant women and moms through Rosalie’s Helping Hands; facilitate the Lenoir City North Middle School backpack food program; facilitate the monthly parish food drive; and partner with other community agencies to further services to those in need. Volunteers visit individuals in two person teams and have a wide variety of backgrounds and experiences. Training is provided.
