Society of St. Vincent de Paul was founded in 1846. Our mission is to live the Gospel message by serving Christ in persons in need with love, respect, justice and joy.

When a person calls us for assistance, we visit that person in their home to find out how we can best help them, generally on an emergency, short-term basis. In some cases, it may be with food or clothing vouchers. In all cases we bring compassion, respect and hope. Although the Society is a Catholic organization, we visit and serve anyone requesting assistance.

The call for assistance can be made to St. Jerome Parish at 905-455-4260, and leave a message for SSVP. A member of the Society will return the call at the earliest possible convenience. When leaving a message, a name, callback number and address is requested to determine if the location is within our boundary.

The material assistance we are able to provide in our home visits is due to the generosity of our parishioners, CWL and the Knights of Columbus. Since we do not receive any government funding, we rely on you, our parishioners to help us achieve our mission, by placing donations in the “Poor box” at the back of the church following mass or sending an e-transfer donation to our email address: SSVPStJerome@gmail.com. Tax receipts can be provided for any donation greater than $20.00. 

St. Jerome’s conference meetings are on the fourth Tuesday of each month at 6:30 p.m. via Zoom.  We are always looking for new members to join our Society. For more information on what we do, please come to our meeting, or call the church (905) 455 4260, and leave a message with a contact number for a call back from SSVP, or email us SSVPstjerome@gmail.com, or talk to one of our members standing by the poor box after each weekend Mass.

The Legion of Mary is a lay catholic organisation whose members are giving service to the Church on a voluntary basis in almost every country. 

The object of the Legion of Mary is the glory of God through the holiness of its members developed by prayer and active co-operation in Mary’s and the Church’s work. The unit of the Legion of Mary is called a praesidium, which holds a weekly meeting, where prayer is intermingled with reports and discussion. Persons who wish to join the Legion must apply for membership in a Praesidium. The Legion sees as its priority the spiritual and social welfare of each individual. The members participate in the life of the parish through visitation of families, the sick, both in their homes and in hospitals and through collaboration in every apostolic and missionary undertaking sponsored by the parish. Every legionary is required to carry out a weekly apostolic work in the spirit of faith and in union with Mary.

If you are interested in joining the Legion of Mary at St. Jerome Parish, please contact Theresa Culliton at culliton@stjeromeparish.ca. If you would like to learn more, please click on the link below to be directed to their website.
