The Saint Vincent de Paul Society is affiliated with an international organization through particular council of the Diocese of Covington. The purpose of the organization is to help those in need, both materially and spiritually.

Through monthly parish collections and the help of the District Salvage Bureau, they are able to provide aid to those within the Fort Thomas area who are in need of immediate help. Cases are referred to the society through the District Office, which acts as a clearing house for the Northern Kentucky area. Cases can be referred through Saint Thomas Parish as well.

Meetings are held on an as-required basis. Phone communication between members is used to handle most of the cases.
