Perkiomen Valley Council 3633

serving the parishes of Saint Eleanor in Collegeville and Saint Mary in Schwenksville

The Knights of Columbus are centered on four principles:

Charity towards family, church community, and to ease the plight of those less fortunate is the theme of the First Degree by which a candidate enters the order.
Unity among members is the strength of the Knights of Columbus. Unity in the Faith, with the Church and moral values is the theme of the Second-Degree ceremony. The Knights of Columbus has a motto… in service to one, in service to all
Fraternity among members is a principal allowing members to band together as brothers to help one another in times of distress, sickness and death. Knights are considered full members upon reaching the Third Degree. All Knights are referred to as "Brother Knights."
Patriotism is the principle of the optional fourth degree.

Each principle is exemplified by a degree ceremony. Upon reaching the Third Degree-Fraternity, a Brother Knight is considered a Full Member.

“Don’t think that it’s a small thing to be devoted to the relief of those in distress.” - Vincent de Paul

History

The Saint Vincent de Paul Society is a Catholic lay organization founded in 1833, calling women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering. The founder was Blessed Frédéric Ozanam (see nearby portrait) and its patron is Saint Vincent de Paul. The Saint Eleanor Conference was established in 2002 and has been active since.

Mission Statement

A network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness in building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need

What we do

Active members participate regularly in Conference meetings, prayer and fellowship; partner with neighbors in need in the Collegeville area who seek help; and are received formally as a Vincentian brother or sister into the Society’s Conference.

Our monthly 'Conference' meetings are held on the first Monday of the month in Kateri Hall starting at 7 p.m. The general agenda includes opening prayer and meditation, treasury and committee reports, review of special projects (Easter, Thanksgiving, Christmas), new initiatives, neighbor (client) reports, a secret collection, and closing prayer.

Guests and prospective members are welcome to attend but will be excused prior to the confidential neighbor (client) reports.

How You can help

Learn more about becoming a Vincentian by calling the Saint Eleanor Parish Office at 610-489-1647, extension 43. A member of SVdP will return your call and answer any questions.
Fund SVdP with a cash or Scrip/gift card donation placed in the church Poor Box or dropped off at the Parish Office to assist the financial needs of neighbors.
Help keep our pantry well stocked by placing nonperishable groceries, paper goods and personal items in the SVdP bins in the Church Narthex
Pray that together YOU & I will always meet God’s call to care for those in need.

The Ancient Order of Hibernians (AOH) is America’s oldest Irish Catholic Fraternal Organization founded concurrently in the coal-mining region of Pennsylvania and New York City in May,1836. The Order can trace its roots back to a series of similar societies that existed in Ireland for more than 300 years. Today the AOH exists in America, Canada, Ireland, England, Wales and Scotland, however, while the organizations share a common thread, the American AOH is a separate and much larger organization.
