The St. Matthew Society of St. Vincent de Paul offers tangible assistance to those in need on a person-to-person basis through the support and help of the Saint Matthew Parish family. This aid may take the form of intervention, consultation, or often through direct dollar or in-kind service. An essential precept of the Society's work is to provide help while conscientiously maintaining the confidentiality and dignity of those whom we serve while recognizing it must also assume a role of advocacy for those who are defenseless or voiceless.
