Building A Brighter Tomorrow
In the depths of her despair, Esmeralda turned to the compassionate embrace of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Southwest Texas. Life had dealt her a crushing blow - the loss of her beloved husband left her with the immense responsibility of raising her two grandchildren all alone. Struggling to keep her home, she felt overwhelmed by the weight of her financial burdens.
With a heavy heart, she reached out to the Society, searching for a glimmer of hope. With deep gratitude, Esmeralda found relief as the Society covered her April rent and graciously contributed towards May's expenses.
Yet, it didn't end there. St. Gregory's Conference, filled with unwavering kindness, stepped forward to bridge the remaining gap, proving to her that compassion knows no bounds. It was an overwhelming blessing that touched her soul.

Find Five Friends: Youth Program
-
Local High School Students organize to support the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
In 2020, seeing that need was on the rise in our community due to COVID-19, a Catholic student from Antonian named Brandon Davis called together Five Friends. They gathered face-to-face via Zoom to discuss how they could help their local Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
Together, they decided they needed to begin telling the story of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and find ways to support their local Council. They started contacting everyone they knew to FIND FIVE FRIENDS just like Frederic Ozanam (our founder) did. They asked their friends to donate $25 to support the mission of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul. To date, students from St. Mary Magdalen, Blessed Sacrament, Mount Sacred Heart, St. Anthony’s, Providence, Central Catholic, and Antonian College Preparatory have participated in the campaign.
Today the campaign continues. Students hope that their efforts will create a viral network of supporters to help feed, house, and clothe those in need. The students hope individuals, colleges, universities, and businesses will join Find Five Friends.
