The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is an international organization of Roman Catholic lay men and women of all ages, whose primary mission is to help the poor and less fortunate.
Funds to support the work of the Parish Conference come from individual donations and the Poor Boxes located in the large Holy Water fonts. Some of the services provided by our Parish Conference are food assistance, rent and mortgage assistance, and emergency funding. If you know of anyone in need who would benefit from the services of The Society of St. Vincent de Paul of St. Robert Bellarmine Parish Conference, please notify the rectory. All calls received Monday to Friday are normally responded to with in 48 hours. Like that of its founder, Venerable Frederic Ozanam, the vision of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is to " embrace the world in a network of charity." Society of St. Vincent de Paul > Home |

Christa Speranza (215-956-9769) RESPECT LIFE The United States Conference of Catholic Bishops (USCCB) has published their new document regarding Faithful Citizenship. This document, which has been highlighted extensively in recent issues of The Catholic Standard & Times, encourages Catholic voters to be well informed of all candidates’ positions on current issues as well as the Catholic Church’s stand on these same issues. Only a well informed conscience will provide the Catholic voter with the proper framework from which to cast his or her vote. Bulk copies of this document may be ordered through the USCCB at www.usccb.org, and individual copies are available from the Respect Life Office. The Communications Department of the Archdiocese is also in the process of preparing a voter’s guide which focuses more on local candidates and issues.Please know that the Respect Life Office is available to serve your needs regarding a full range of life issues. We are a resource for current information.

WELCOME New Parishioners
The Parishes of the Archdiocese of Philadelphia are territorial parishes. Which simply means we have boundaries. If you are Catholic and live within a parish’s boundaries you will belong to that parish. How to Register: The priests want to meet all new parishioners and personally welcome you to our parish. How NOT to Register: Dropping an envelope in the Sunday Collection with your name and address WILL NOT make you a registered parishioner! Marking the envelope with "SEND ME A SUPPLY OF ENVELOPES", WILL NOT make you a registered parishioner! The only way to be registered in the parish is to speak with one of the priests. This process takes only a few minutes and is very painless. The usual time to register is after one of the weekend Masses, either after the 5:00 PM Vigil on Saturday or after the 7:00, 8:30, 10:00 or 11:30 AM Masses on Sunday. We want to be able to welcome all new parishioners properly and get to know you. Please take the time and register properly. Thank you. LEAVING THE PARISH BOUNDARIES - Once you have moved outside St. Robert’s boundaries you must register in the parish in whose boundaries you now reside. We are sorry to loose you but we are not allowed to keep you on our records as a parishioner. |
