“It is more blessed to give than to receive” – Acts 20:35

The fish is the symbol of Christianity and represents the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. The eye of the fish is the vigilant eye of God seeking to help the poor in our midst. The crossing at the tail or the tie-knot represents unity and oneness among members and also the union with the poor. The circle bounding the logo signifies the global or worldwide stature of the SSVP, an international Society. The words serviens in spe mean to serve in hope, the hope that comes from Our Lord Jesus Christ.

The Society Of St. Vincent De Paul traces its roots to France. Frederic Ozanam was challenged by non-believers to show his works. This sparked an intense desire within Frederic to help the less fortunate. In 1833, he became the principle founder of the Society to serve the poor people of Paris. More than 200 years on, the SSVP has a presence in 148 countries with 780,000 members and has served over 30 million poor and needy. It is one of most well-known Catholic apostolate of Charity Worldwide and accredited by the United Nations as an International Non-Government Organisation. The Singapore Chapter was founded in the early sixties by the late Monsignor Berthold and philanthropist Dr. Ee Peng Liang. Today the SSVP has more than 700 members supporting over 3000 Friends In Need across 30 parishes in Singapore.
