Conference Life
Members of the Society traditionally gather in communities called “Conferences” which meet weekly, or at least twice a month. This is to affirm the importance of the spiritual and social dimensions of Vincentians coming together as a community of faith and love, prayer and action. Rule: Part III, Statute 5
Successful Conferences:
-
Take initiative and try new things
-
Have working ties in the neighborhood and community
-
Participate in their District and Diocesan Councils
-
Do not hoard for a rainy day but rather trust God’s providence!

In Memoriam
As a faith community, we honor and remember our deceased Vincentians, as being among our communion of saints. We include them in our prayers and services throughout the year, but especially on November 2 (All Souls Day) and throughout the month of November.
Conference presidents are responsible to inform the Council of the deaths of members and associates and to assure that conference records, including the Memorial Roll, are updated. Conference presidents should coordinate with the conference spiritual advisor to provide appropriate comfort the family during times of loss.

Memorial Gifts & Estate Planning
If friends and family wish to remember someone through a Memorial Gift, such a gift may be made to the local conference or the Council. Please consider St. Vincent de Paul in your estate planning. Thank you.
Memorial Gifts or Tribute Gifts
Honoring a loved one, whether living or deceased, through a charitable gift to the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a particularly meaningful act of paying tribute to someone. It also assures that worthwhile values continue to enhance the world around us. Memorial and tribute gifts allow you to thoughtfully remember family members, friends and others who have been a vital part of your life.
There are memorial gifts for every occasion, such as Mother’s Day, Father’s Day, birthdays, baptisms, confirmations, Christmas, marriages, funerals or special acknowledgments. Consider the possibilities of gifts of cash, stocks, bonds, mutual funds or an estate.
