Last December the Vincentians were involved in feeding "Nicklesville" residents, and most recently have connected with an hoc members to announce an effort by St. Bridget to get involved in helping on December 23rd and St. George Episcopal Church in Lake City.

Our Ministry is a “band-aid’ for these families who are often a single parent and 4 children trying to get by on $1000/month.

Families can stay up to 2 years.

No Drugs, No Alcohol, No Guns.

12-15 Parishioners available to go on home visits.

Needy residents call the St Vincent de Paul main number and they FAX the request to the St Bridget Parish Office.  We try to respond with 48 hours.
