Home Visits

After the call for assistance, two Vincentians visit the neighbor to both hear and see their needs. Their crisis situation may be due to a brief unexpected temporary loss of income or more complex involving, several children, illness, and other complicating factors. In the latter situation, we can offer referral to other local and state agencies. No two situations are identical. Together The Vincentians and the neighbor assess how St. Vincent de Paul can best help to resolve the immediate crisis. If possible, we will try to move our neighbor onto a more sustainable path. Finally we offer the neighbor an opportunity to pray.
