The SVdP Conference at St. John Neumann is an outreach ministry of the parish that discerns ways to help families within the parish boundaries who are facing temporary emergency hardships. Funding of SVdP comes from generous parishioner support of the Poor Box, the Auto Donation Program, and member gifts. The Conference helps to keep people in their homes and provide them support in getting to work as they strive to improve their lifestyles. Funds are available to keep the electricity and gas on and provide food and services that families need. An extra special gift of our Conference is one of our members who is bilingual, enabling us to help our growing Spanish-speaking population.
