Nativity Conference of the
St. Vincent de Paul Society
The Saint Vincent de Paul Society (SVdP) is an international Catholic organization devoted to caring for the poor that was founded in Paris in 1833 by Frederick Ozanam. The society has conferences in the parishes of many Catholic parishes throughout the United States.
Nativity’s conference was founded in 1964 and since then has been providing food, clothing and rental assistance to the poor of the parish.
People in need are able to call our help line (650-321-7424) and request assistance as often as once a month. Our volunteers respond to these calls by delivering food and grocery cards and by assessing rental or utility requests on Tuesday, Thursday and Saturday mornings. We provide this service to all needy clients regardless of race, religion or other factors. Our only requirement is that the need is real and that the people we help live within the parish boundaries. We currently help 10 to 15 individuals and families a week. Clothing vouchers, rental and utility payment assistance are provided with the help of the San Mateo SVdP council which is our parent organization. We have about twenty-five members, and are always welcoming to new volunteers.
Our funding comes from “Fifth Sunday brown bag” collections after Nativity Masses in the months in which there is a fifth Sunday (four times a year.) Our conference meets on the fourth Monday of each month at 8:15 AM in the rectory parlor; please consider joining us.
Please be generous when you see us collecting after Mass.
