“Charity is the cement which binds communities to God and persons to one another.”
-St. Vincent de Paul
One of the largest charitable organizations in the world, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SVdP) is an
international non-profit. Catholic lay men and women voluntarily join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to our Friends and Neighbors (FANS) in need (https://ssvpusa.org/). SVdP offers a variety of programs and services, including home visits, housing assistance, disaster relief, food pantries, rent and utility costs. The St. John the Baptist – Ohkay Owingeh conference conducts home visits with FANS in Ohkay Owingeh and surrounding communities. We assist with utility bills, rent, and food. In addition to home visits, our conference completes “Specials Works” projects. During the holidays we distribute food boxes. Jackets and blankets are also given to children during the Christmas season. During the summer months backpacks are available for school age children. Our conference also assists the National SVdP Disaster Relief organization helping those affected by natural disasters not only here
in the USA, but also internationally.
Our conference would love to have you!

What is an ACTS Retreat? An ACTS Retreat is a parish based event which offers parishioners an opportunity to experience the love of Jesus Christ. This in turn fosters a desire for intentional discipleship. ACTS Retreats are given by parishioners for parishioners, and in this way, serve to build Christian community at the parish.
While utilizing prayer, service, and teaching, the ACTS Retreat meets people where they are in their spiritual journey and invites them to experience God in a manner that is both personal and communal. In this way, the ACTS Retreat fulfills the mission of: “Spreading the Gospel of Jesus Christ among Catholic communities through ACTS." -ACTS Mission
