The St. Vincent de Paul Society Church of the Visitation Conference is part of the Ocean County St. Vincent de Paul District Council. The committee meets twice a month.
On receipt of a voice mail message on the rectory phone line (option 3) two members make a home visit within 24 hours of the request in order to determine the needs. Funds for the needy in our area come from the poor boxes located at the entrances of the main church and the chapel. In addition there are St. Vincent de Paul Memorial envelopes in Silverton and Weatherhead-Young Funeral Parlors. Cash collections are taken up at various time in Church of the Visitation. You can also mail or drop off a donation at our parish office - indicate that your donation is for the St. Vincent de Paul Church of the Visitation Conference.
The Thrift Shop, open on Monday through Friday from 9:00 am to 12:30 pm, is located in the Seeds Of Service building at 725 Mantoloking Rd, selling clothes and household items at rock-bottom prices. Manned by volunteers, the shop adds to the funds available to the Society to pay utility bills and rents. Clean clothing and useful household items are gratefully received.
St. Vincent de Paul works in conjunction with Catholic Charities. If you know someone needing help with addiction recovery mental health, domestic violence or immigration contact Catholic Charities of the Diocese of Trenton: www.catholiccharitiestrenton.org
