Religious Articles Ministry

Preserving our Faith

Since launching this unique ministry, hundreds-of-thousands of blessed and unblessed religious articles have found their way to the faithful in the Twin Cities and across the world.
 
The rich tradition of giving and receiving Catholic religious articles leaves many of us with far more items than we need. Now, those crucifixes, pictures and Rosary beads squirrelled away in a shoebox, have a home at St. Vincent de Paul. The donated items we accept are cleaned and, if needed, refurbished before being redistributed, free-of-charge, at Catholic and community events or shipped to missions worldwide.  
Items we preserve
With a few exceptions, we will recycle nearly any Catholic religious article. Here are some of our favorites.
  • Framed or unframed artwork (painting, print)
  • Statues
  • Rosary beads
  • Crucifixes
  • Patron Saint medals
  • Jewelry
  • Spanish language Bibles, prayer and other religious books
Articles we cannot accept
Unfortunately, we cannot redistribute every religious article donated, (like your Uncle Moe’s funeral card). Please consider each piece you donate to this ministry. We experience great difficulty giving away:
  • Prayer cards, funeral cards
  • English language Bibles, prayer and other religious books
  • Scapulars
  • Easter palms
  • Used candles
Donate your religious articles
If you're interested in preserving these symbols of faith, ship your items to:
     
St. Vincent de Paul–Twin Cities 
     Religious Articles Ministry
     2939 12th Ave. S
     Minneapolis, MN 55407
