St Mary of the Pines Conference

“One of the greatest gifts that God has given us is the power to be a blessing in someone else’s life.”

The annual Give For Good campaign is the PRIMARY source of funding that enables St. Mary of the Pines St. Vincent de Paul Conference to provide one-time emergency assistance to the friends in need who reach out to us. The funding is used to prevent homelessness as we help to prevent evictions, utility disconnections, and provide emergency food until the next monthly benefits are received. Please help us to help those who need a helping hand by donating to this worthy ministry.

Diocesan Appeal Support of St Vincent de Paul:  Through the generosity of the Bishop of Shreveport, the Eastern District (6 conferences), the Southern District (1 conference), and the Western District (12 conferences)  Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) receives annual support from the Diocesan Appeal.  Because of this support, the 19 SVdP Conferences and Councils can pay for their insurance, solidarity dues and operating costs (i.e., storage fees, Helpline phone line, printing costs) without using funds given by our parishioners on behalf of those in need.  With your Give For Good support, the St Mary of the Pines/ St. Vincent de Paul Conference can use 100% of your donation for assisting those not as materially blessed.
