Society of St. Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul at OLA is part of a worldwide organization of lay Catholic men and women who are committed to live and grow in their Christian faith through prayer and personal involvement in charitable works. The Society’s mission is accomplished through parish and community-based groups called Conferences (volunteers) and programs called “Special Works.” The Society’s work includes any actions that promote the dignity of the person, alleviate suffering and distress, while correcting the conditions that cause them.

If you are in need of assistance please call the SVdP office at 642-4104 and make an appointment to discuss your needs with one of our office Vincentians. Please leave a message if the phone is not answered and your call will be returned.

Here in the Ventura area, the Society has provided for rental assistance, food, pharmacy and medical needs, utility bills, lodging, clothing, as well as transportation. 

If you are interested in becoming a Vincentian, you can answer and/or return phone calls, meet with those in need, be available for one of the Bundle Sundays (which is a day held periodically at Church to benefit our SVdP Thrift Store located in Oxnard), help staff a booth at the Ministry Faire, or other functions. 

We here at Our Lady of the Assumption can proudly say that 100% of the funds donated have been used to assist those in need. 

If you find a space in your heart that needs filled then give the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul a thought. We meet on the 1st  and 3rd  Wednesday of each month at 6:30 PM  in the Parish House.  See you there!
