170th Celebrations

1854 until today

For 170 years, the St Vincent de Paul Society has been providing support and assistance to people in need. Our history spans Melbourne's infancy in the 1850s to today.

This year we celebrate our good works within the community and take this opportunity to thank everyone who has been part of our journey: our members, volunteers and employees, who have provided and will continue to provide the best support to people in need.

Our journey will continue and we welcome you to join us by becoming a volunteer.
