CSCC - Caritas Singapore Community Council

Society of St Vincent De Paul (SSVP)

		The mission of the Society of St Vincent De Paul is to seek the love of God by serving the poor and needy. To alleviate the plight of the underprivileged through financial aids and rations distribution, including home visitations. The "Conference of Charity," from which the Society of St. Vincent de Paul came, was founded in Paris in April, 1833 by a few young men and a Catholic publicist. The principal founder was a man of twenty years of age, hailed from Lyons, named Frederic Ozanam.

The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SSVP), one of the oldest charitable social and humanitarian organisations, is seen today as a huge international movement of the apostolate of charity and social action. The Society's purpose is to provide direct aid to those who suffer, and to help individuals reduce and even eliminate the causes of the suffering themselves.

SSVP of Singapore was formed in 1951 with the 1 st Conference. To date, the Society has grown to a total of 29 Conferences with total membership of about 700. Except for Cathedral of the Good Shepherd, there is one Conference in each Church.

The 29 Conferences are organised into 5 Particular Councils (City, East, North, West and Serangoon) which are coordinated by the National Council.

The Society also runs the St Vincent Home which is jointly funded by SSVP and Catholic Welfare Services. It is located at Waterloo Street and has been a sheltered home since 1980 to ambulant, destitute Singaporeans and Permanent Residents.
