St. Vincent de Paul Society

he Society is named after the patron saint of charity - St. Vincent de  Paul . It started in   Paris   in 1883 by a young college student named Frederic Ozanam and six of his friends.  It is now an international Catholic lay organization seeking to help those in need by using person-to-person involvement by its members through home visits.  Through friendship and care the volunteer members preserve the human dignity of all people that are in need and crisis. We are asked to see Jesus Christ in each person that we help by living out the lessons and values of the gospel.            

The St Martha’s Conference works to assist people in our Kingwood community and surrounding areas of Humble, New Caney, and Porter.  Financial assistance with rent, utilities, medicines and food are some of the ways to aid the needy.   The Conference is funded mainly by donations from our parishioners and other interested individuals and groups.  The main fundraisers are the Black Bag collection at Masses on specific Sundays and a few special events during the year. Because the Conference expenses are minimal, it returns about 99% of the donations to the people in need.  Also we work with other ministries and agencies in the parish and in the area to best serve the needs of each client.  

The Society services people regardless of race, religion, age, and cultural differences.  Donations are always welcome and can be dedicated in memory or to honor someone or for special achievements. If you would like to make a monetary tax-deductible donation to this non-profit 501-c (3) organization, please make your check payable to: St. Vincent de  Paul  -  St.  Martha’s. It can be deposited into the collection basket on Sunday or mailed to the church office at   3702 Woodland Hills Dr. , Kingwood, 77339.
