Our Faith and Works Program is modeled after The Society of St. Vincent de Paul which was founded in Paris, France in 1833 by a 20-year old student, Frederic Ozanam. Challenged by the poverty he saw on the streets, and by his contemporaries who believed the Church no longer demonstrated an active faith in works of charity, Frederic organized the first “Conference of Charity” to help the poor of all religions created by the industrial revolution, as well as create an avenue that assisted people to express their faith and grow spiritually through acts of charity.

Today, it is an international organization of lay Catholic women and men with more than 1,000,000 members in 142 countries, and a mission to “seek and find the forgotten, the suffering or the deprived.” Current and past activities of Faith and Works include providing groceries, school supplies, fans, air conditioners, hats, blankets, coats and gloves to those in need.
