Welcome to St Vincent de Paul (Jersey)

St Vincent de Paul (Jersey), known as SVP, is the local face of the worldwide charity whose aim is to help those most in need in our society.
Founded in Paris in 1833, the organisation spread quickly to Jersey and spurred by the French Catholic community in Jersey, became part of the caring face within the Island to ease poverty and suffering and promote human dignity.

Pope Francis’ message for World Day of the Poor, 2024

“Open our eyes to the needs of our brothers and sisters; inspire in us words and actions to comfort those who labour and are burdened. Make us serve them truly, after the example of Christ and at his command. And may your Church stand as a living witness to truth and freedom, to peace and justice, that all people may be raised up to a new hope.”
