Are you looking for ways to experience God?

God is a spiritual being. How do you experience a "spiritual being"? Members of the Society of St.

Vincent de Paul invite you to share in their ministry of experiencing God in those in need. Holy scripture tells us: The Word became flesh and lived among us, and we saw His glory, the

glory that is His as the only Son of the Father, full of grace and truth" (John 1:14) We see Christ in our friends in need and when we see Christ we

experience God.
