Our St. Vincent de Paul Society (SVdP) is a group of men and women who embrace the Gospel message to see the face of Christ in the poor and needy.  Thanks to the support of generous donors, we are able to help people in our community struggling with basic living needs like food, clothing, and household necessities.

Here are our St. Mary SVdP outreach ministries and the assistance they offer:

St. Mary Food Pantry
Every second Saturday of the month from 9:00 to 10:30 am, we open our food pantry so that families in our parish area can obtain needed food and other items.  We also supply food to other SVdP pantries and to families during home visits.  Call 414-425-2174, ext. 310 to register for the food pantry.

Neighbor Home Visits
We meet individuals and families at their residence to assess and help with their needs.  We issue SVdP store vouchers for clothing, beds, furniture and household items.  Vouchers for used appliances are also given and requests for rent and utility support are considered.  Information on meal sites and various support services is provided and we pray with our neighbors.

SVdP Meal Program
Every third and fifth Monday and second Sunday of the month, we serve dinner to guests at the SVdP Milwaukee Cross Roads Kitchen meal site at
931 W. Madison Street.  We also provide food for over 200 meals each month.

Repairers of the Breach
Every Saturday we deliver cold cereal, instant oatmeal, fruit, milk, and water to feed 150 to 200 people at the ROTB homeless shelter at 1335 W. Vliet Street.

Parish Twinning
Food and financial assistance are provided to other SVdP parishes to help with the needs of people in their neighborhoods.  Our partners include St. Josaphat, St. Catherine of Alexandria, Blessed Savior, and Congregation of the Great Spirit.

St. Mary SVdP Phone Help Line
Our help line at 414-425-2174, ext. 310 is monitored daily.  Emergency food bags for walk-ins are provided at the Parish Office during office hours.

We invite you to join our SVdP Society or to volunteer in any of these outreach ministries.  We meet on the second Wednesday of each month at 3:30 pm.  For more information, please contact Co-Presidents and parishioners, Fred Matestic or Wayne Ramus at 414-425-2174, ext. 310.
