Who We Are

A message from the Executive Director

Dear Friends,

Many of us are familiar with the statement: "There is no "I" in T-E-A-M."  I marvel and rejoice that the Society functions to draw on a sports analogy, as a team.  Our talented staff is guided by the Directors of our Board, many of whom also serve as District Presidents.  The District Presidents in turn work with our 143 Conference Presidents, who in turn serve the poor and needy along with over 2600 Vincentian Members in Eastern Missouri.  Their work is supported through our Thrift Stores, and the gifts and prayers of our 13,000+ donors.

May the Lord continue to bless our incredible "team" and all those in need in whom we see the face of Jesus Christ.


I invite you to visit our
How to Help page to learn how you can share your gifts and resources through the Society. Together, we will make a difference in the greater St. Louis and surrounding areas.

Zip Rzeppa
Executive Director
