Who are we?

The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP) was founded in Paris in 1833 by Blessed Frédéric Ozanam. Frédéric and his companions, inspired by their Catholic Faith, sought to eradicate both the causes and the effects of poverty. They chose St Vincent de Paul as their patron.

Today’s SVP is a spiritually-based lay society of the Catholic Church with almost one million members worldwide. Membership is open to all denominations and is essentially about expressing our faith in actions. SVP seeks, in the spirit of justice and charity, to help those who are suffering poverty in whatever form. - See more at: http://svp.org.uk/

SVP in Mumbles
