Your Easter Season giving was outstanding and helped many needy families!. The donations that the pantry have received are most appreciated.

      This month St Joseph’s Food Pantry served 35-40 families each week. Our ministry to Chicago Soup
      Kitchens and pantries helped serve countless others. Thank you to all our friends of the pantry. Pantry hours are Thursday morning from 8 AM to 10:15 AM

      Thanks from all the members of the St Vincent DePaul Society! 

    • Who we are

      Hundreds of families each year receive groceries from our weekly SVDP Food Pantry that's run out of the Parish Center basement.  The all volunteer staff works throughout the week, picking up donations, unloading trucks and organizing supplies all to prepare for each Thursday's Pantry Day.  See the contact info below if you'd like to join the team!

      Several times each year St. Joseph's also hosts the St. Vincent de Paul Clothing Drive over the time of our weekend Masses.  The SVDP truck arrives before our Saturday 5p and stays through the Sunday morning Masses until 2pm.  
      Next truck dates: July 23 -24, November 5-6

  • In Memoriam

    • One of our long time Vincentians, Barb Patun, passed away October 27, 2020. She made many in-take calls and home visits during her 20 plus years of service. For home visits, she would pull out the following prayer and the other Vincentian accompanying her would pray this prayer before entering the dwelling:

      Leading the Way
      “Lord, inspire us today with the qualities of good leadership.
      Give us insight to make wise decisions,
      integrity to face the truth,
      courage to make difficult choices and
      compassion for the needs of others.  
      Make us a model of justice and honor to the world,
      and, let us never forget that our job is 
      to serve both you and others.” 
      Amen

    • This prayer put God in the picture and helped her discern what action to take. She trusted in God’s help and she loved doing the work of a Vincentian. You can keep her spirit alive and help us in our mission by making a donation in memory of Barb Patun to:

       St. Vincent De Paul Society
       c/o St. Joseph church
       4824 Highland Avenue
       Downers Grove, IL 60515

      or, join us and become a member!

      Thank you,
      Bob Hoffman
      President, SVDP
