 Mt . St. Peter Parish has a branch of the Saint Vincent De Paul Society . The goal of this branch of the society , like all other branches , is to help the poor , the sick , and the suffering . Members of this group work to help people locally by collecting food and delivering it to food banks in and around New Kensington . Within the church , it is seen as a great honor to be part of this society and the members believe that the best help lies in the people they are more than in the caring acts they perform . They all work together to help others and they continually strive to become better Catholics .
