31% of Conferences stayed open during the early days of the pandemic.

Last year, we conducted over 46,000 face to face visits.

 

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.

SUPPORT OUR MISSION TODAY!
