The St Vincent de Paul Society in WA
As Vincentians we do not close our eyes to the growing division in Australia and the world between the increasingly prosperous and the increasingly poor.
We seek to share both bread and hope with our brothers and sisters, recognising Christ in their painful stories and witnessing to the Good News of justice and compassion.
They entrust a little of their lives to us.
We honour this trust by speaking the truth of their stories and calling on the people of our nation to address the structural causes of poverty and inequality.
The Society also has a number of services known as Special Works.
Special Works are a professional facility or service run by the St Vincent de Paul Society and arise out of a need which cannot be met within the normal scope of the conference.
Special Works provide a specific service and focus on ensuring the social, economic and political pressures placed on disadvantaged West Australians are lessened.
Special Works are managed and supported by a combination of members, volunteers and paid employees.
