The mission of the Servants of Saint Vincent de Paul ministry is to help the poor and needy of the Manheim community, guided by our Catholic faith and beliefs.

A small team of St. Richard parishioners who provide confidential, person-to-person support to those in the Manheim community who are in need of help.  Our goal is to aid our brothers and sisters in reestablishing their own self-sufficiency after careful analysis of the circumstances in which they find themselves.

  • We provide confidential, person-to-person support, including determination of “root causes” for the current circumstances in which someone finds himself or herself.
  • We offer limited, temporary financial assistance upon review of a person’s current financial situation, with the intent of establishing a plan by which his or her self-sufficiency can be reestablished.
  • We collaborate with medical or social services organizations, government agencies, and business people in addressing those factors which negatively affect a person’s ability to be self-reliant.
  • We provide assistance with food and transportation under certain circumstances.
