From vision to reality: St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria’s new community housing project in Melbourne’s north to house vulnerable families.
St Vincent de Paul Society Victoria is proud to announce that it is moving into the build phase of a community housing project set to deliver nine new safe, secure and affordable homes in Epping/Wollert in partnership with Homes Victoria as part of the $5.3 billion Big Housing Build.
Established on 5 March 1854, the St Vincent de Paul Society has been providing support and assistance to people in need. Our history spans Melbourne's infancy in the 1850s to today, 170 years later.
As part of our 170th celebrations two major events were held, the Ozanam Oration and our Anniversary Mass.

This event symbolised progress, growth and the tangible start of development.
