Seeing the Face of Christ in Those We Serve
Who We Are
Our Mission
A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to those in need.
Our History
.A group of Catholic men and women met in July of 2016 at St. Michael's Catholic Church to learn about the works of St. Vincent de Paul and the Society that, 400 years later, bears his name and follows his lead.
With support from St. Michael's, the Diocese of Richmond and others, we formed the first Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Richmond.

St. Michael's support and donations enable our SVDP Conference to serve those in need.
Since January 2024, we have received more than 1,700 requests for assistance, 632 received from July - September 2024.
The services provided include rent and utility assistance, auto repair expenses and food expenses.
