About SSVP

St. Agnes has a conference (organization) of the worldwide Society of St. Vincent de Paul, as do almost all K-W Roman Catholic churches.

Each conference is responsible for looking after our Neighbours in Need in the general geographic boundaries of its church. They are supported largely by donations from parishioners. St. Agnes asks for contributions after liturgies on the last weekend of each month.

Donations are also gratefully accepted by cheque made payable to: St. Agnes Society of St. Vincent de Paul. These can be sent to the church or put in the collection basket.

Donations can also be made by e-transfer to stagnessvp@gmail.com

Do you need assistance?

People needing emergency food should call the number below. The message will reach a Vincentian volunteer who will coordinate food assistance to the residence.

2023 Christmas Help

St. Agnes Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is once again overwhelmed by the generosity of our parishioners!

Thank you so much for making Christmas extra special for 51 families, including 47 children and 7 teens! A big thank you to Bluevale Collegiate’s Choose2Lead class as well, who provided the toiletries for our baskets.

Many thanks to our wonderful volunteers too! Wishing you all a blessed New Year.

Support of Northern Communities

The SSVP would like to extend a heartfelt thank you to all those who donated items and/or gave monetary donations in support of our North of 60 campaign. You enabled us to send Nutella, Cheese Whiz, socks, underwear and tuques to the people of Chesterfield. Sister Dorica recently sent a letter of thanks, along with some pictures, to give special thanks for the Nutella, as the children enjoy it daily when they come to the mission. Thank you again to all of you who supported our efforts to reduce food insecurity among our northernmost Neighbours in Need.
