Society of St. Vincent de Paul
Toronto Central Council

Mission Statement

Members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul are committed to bringing hope, love and assistance to the poor and others in need – turning concern into action. Toronto Central Council provides the leadership, coordination, and support required by our Vincentian volunteers and our staff to succeed in that mission. 

Vision Statement 

Our volunteer members turn concern into action through direct, compassionate service to those in need. Toronto Central Council will support and assist them in this mission by:

• developing and implementing recruitment strategies, aimed at attracting a diverse group of new members;
• supporting the work of Particular Councils to open new Conferences and revitalize ones that are struggling; 
• providing a variety of training and sharing opportunities for members; 
• seeking out and responding to new opportunities to meet the ever-changing needs of the poor and others in need. 

Values Statement

Our members serve those in need. Toronto Central Council serves our members. With the example of Frederic Ozanam and St. Vincent de Paul, and with God’s grace, we endeavour, like our members, to bring spirituality, respect, dedication, patience, and compassion to our service.
