The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is an international organization of lay Catholics dedicated to serving people in need. Local parish conferences are organized under diocesan councils. Both our parish conference and the diocesan SVdP operate programs on our campus.
As the COVID-19 pandemic has brought unprecedented challenges, SVdP is responding with some new approaches and procedures, while maintaining our long-established respect and love for the vulnerable. To reach us, call the rectory at 216-631-6872 x1 or email svdp@stpatrickbridge.org.

At the appointment, clients must provide proof of ID and bill(s) or documentation of need, including landlord name and phone number.
