As a Volunteer
We are looking for volunteers within our community. Most communities
have their own local St. Vincent de Paul and we encourage you to
join the one nearest to you. Those living within Toronto,
Ontario, Canada, within our community (Our
Boundaries) send us an email and we will send you more info
on how you can join.
Membership in the Society is
considered in a wider sense to be a summons or call to directly
participate in service to the poor, through a personal gift of
heart and friendship within a lay community of people animated
by the same inspiration. Being a member of the Society of St.
Vincent de Paul involves a commitment to:
- Attend regular and
confidential meetings to discuss action and plans to assist
the needy.
- Visit the poor in their
homes to provide material and moral assistance.
- Assist all people regardless
of race, creed, origin or any distinguishing characteristic.
- Address root causes of
poverty and injustice through awareness and support of the
Special Works of the Society.
- Pray and meditate on the
spiritual relationship of poverty and charity in service to
the poor.
Vincentians seek to bear
witness to the love of Christ in their relationship with those
in need. In the service of one’s neighbour, especially the
poor there is an encounter with the suffering Christ. This is
both a source of joy and a source of the Vincentian vocation.
The Society relies on all members to give freely of their time
as circumstances permit. The only requirement is a desire to
grow in personal holiness and befriend Christ’s poor.

Planned Giving

Society will be in the form of regular of occasional gifts.
However some donors may wish their gift to the Society to be in
the form of a Planned Gift. These may be made in the form of an
annuity, a bequest by will, an insurance policy, a trust or gift
of capital property. These have the benefit of providing
providing an income tax receipt to the donor while maximizing
the amount of benefit to the charity.

This is a future gift to the Society. It is established by
making a bequest in your will. Your estate will receive a tax
receipt for the full amount of your gift.
Gifts
of Life Insurance:
It is possible to maximize the size of your gift by designating
the Society as a beneficiary of life insurance policy. Payments
of life insurance premiums are considered to be a charitable
donation and are eligible for a tax receipt.
Lifetime
Income (Charitable Annuity):
This provides the donor with a lifetime, guaranteed income in
exchange for a sizable gift. There are several ways to structure
this donation. Under this method it is possible to receive the
same after tax amount for the rest of your life.
