Our aim is to bring the healing mind, compassion and understanding, acceptance, encouragement and availability. The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul helps the poor through visitation, food vouchers, food box program, clothing vouchers, furniture and our Christmas program. Our founding Father F. Ozanam said, “Let us be patient, and wait for their questions and opinions that will come if they find we are good and will listen to them.” If you would like to volunteer with the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, contact the parish office. A police reference check is required to participate in this Ministry.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul now has new blue colored envelopes available on the table in the Narthex. If you would like a tax receipt for your monthly contributions to our poor box, please feel free to use these envelopes.

FOOD ASSISTANCE:  Please call 289-300-1023 and a representative will contact you.

FURNITURE DONATIONS:  The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul at Mary Mother of God Parish will consider offers of furniture donations based on the requirements of our community families in need.   Please contact the church office and a SSVDP volunteer will in turn contact you.  If we are unable to accept the donation,  you may contact St. Michael’s Parish at 905-844-7971.  They have a storage facility and may be interested in your furniture donation.  St.  Michaels’ parish also supports Dr. Simone’s Food for Children organization and can accept appliances, dishes, books, clothing,  toys,  etc.  Please contact them for further information.

USED CLOTHING:  Please do not drop off clothing items at Mary Mother of God Parish.  We do not have the storage for these items. We have a clothing drive once a year.
