Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP)

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is dedicated to feeding, clothing, housing and healing individuals and families in our community who have no where else to turn for help. Just as important, SVdP provides meaningful opportunities for volunteers to serve their neighbors in need with love and compassion.  Here at St. Joseph Church in Pomona, we make and deliver 100 lunches twice a week to the Shelter on Mission Ave.

 

During the hours of 9:00 am and 11:00 am on Tuesdays and Fridays, we are open to distribute food, clothing and financial assistance.

Just as we go to the gym to train and grow strong, so too that we must grow stronger in our faith. As the Catholic Men's Fellowship chapter of St. Joseph's in Pomona, we are open to men of all ages to strengthen their faith in Christ and to become better sons, brothers, husbands, fathers and friends as we strive towards and embrace the perfect masculinity of our Lord, Jesus Christ, while we lead our lives like our parish patron saint - Saint Joseph - as he answered in saying "Yes" to our Lord.

​

Our Core Values Are:

• Be a Man for Jesus

• Be a Man for Others

• Be a Man of Integrity

• Be a Man of Forgiveness and Discipline

• Be a Man of Prayer and Responsibility

• Be a Man of Humility and Love

• Be a Man on a Mission
