Parish
Conferences
Faith-based services for the poor in Baltimore
St.
Vincent de Paul's parish-based volunteer groups, called
Parish Conferences, provide a network of care to people
suffering from the effects of poverty regardless of
religion, race, national origin, or other distinction.
Located in 50 Catholic parishes throughout Central and
Western Maryland, more than 1,000 parish conference
volunteers work directly with people in their local
communities providing help in a compassionate and respectful
manner. Volunteer members grow spiritually by combining
service with prayerful meetings and reflection.
Volunteer members assist individuals and families experiencing
longer term struggles as well as short-term crises caused
by temporary loss of income. Conferences provide food,
utility assistance, rent, or other items of necessity
to help people through difficult times. Members also
advocate for their clients and provide them with referrals
to appropriate human service agencies.
