Monetary Assistance – Many people want to be involved but don't have time.- Monthly St. Vincent de Paul envelope – This envelope is included in the packet of envelopes provided by Holy Spirit Parish
- Plain envelope with SVdP (or St. Vincent de Paul) written on it – For those who wish to give anonymously
- Online Giving – For those who don't want to use an envelope
- 1st weekend of the month St. Vincent de Paul collection – At the beginning of the month, Vincentians stand at the exits of the church with collection baskets for those who wish to contribute.
Time and Talent - Indirect assistance – We recognize that many people want to help indirectly or "behind the scenes". We need volunteers to help with the collections after Mass on the first weekend of the month, collect and store documents in our electronic document library, be a liaison between the various groups within the parish, etc.
Time and Talent - Direct assistance – Some people like personally connecting with those in need - our "neighbors". These are our "home visitors". They work directly with our neighbors to get a better understanding of the type of assistance needed. Another role that has direct contact with those in need are members who contact our neighbors to let them know that we are not able to assist them at this time.
