St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide organization dedicated to providing short-term assistance for the needy. The St. Theresa chapter members work in pairs visiting families in need and assisting them with prayer, food debit cards or financial help to prevent eviction or the cutoff of utilities or to help with other emergencies. Ministers also direct people to other providers of assistance.   Funds for this ministry come almost entirely from the monthly black bag collection.

Time Commitment: Members meet every Wednesday evening for 45 minutes and then provide additional volunteer time of about one hour a week.
