The worldwide St. Vincent de Paul Society ( SVdP ) is dedicated to serving the needs of the poor. The St. James Conference is specifically dedicated to serving all people who need help and live within St. James Parish. The conference is made up entirely of volunteers from St. James and other parishes. The boundaries of the parish are - north of Bell Road to the Maricopa County line and West of Interstate 17 to 51st Avenue .
The people of St. James are extremely generous. Through that generosity, we are able to provide help to about 600 families per year within the St. James Parish boundries, with more than 1100 service calls. We average about 30 - 50 calls per week, with an increasing volume.
