St. Julie's Conference“Inspired by Gospel values the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and its patron, St. Vincent de Paul.”*
The Vincentians of St. Julie's reach out to local families and individuals through one on one visits to develop trust and understanding. During visits, we join with individuals of the community to determine how the Society may be most effective in providing help. The Conference provides assistance with food, clothing, rent, utilities, and other basic needs.

Neighbors and Friends
The Vincentians have been blessed by Saint Julie Billiart parishioners with gifts of monies and food for our neighbors, the friends we serve in the community.
With the food pantry, and meeting one and one with families and singles we build relationships with the hopes of helping them through the rough patches in life, especially during economic stress in this past year.

Building faith
Each month ( bi-monthly pre-covid) our Vincentian brothers and sisters gather together to read the Sunday gospel and reflect on the readings. We pray together and support each other in our faith journey.
Each meeting starts and ends with prayer, and in between discussion on projects and how better to serve the community of Newbury Park.

“You will find out that Charity is a heavy burden to carry, heavier than the kettle of soup and the full basket. But you will keep your gentleness and your smile. It is not enough to give soup and bread. This the rich can do. You are the servant of the poor, always smiling and good-humored. They are your masters, terribly sensitive and exacting master you will see. And the uglier and the dirtier they will be, the more unjust and insulting, the more love you must give them. It is only for your love alone that the poor will forgive you the bread you give to them.”
― St. Vincent de Paul
