Description

DescriptionShop was in the newer section of the F. Goleby & Sons building at 2 West Street, Ipswich. The Society of St Vincent de Paul was founded in Paris by student, Frederic Ozanam, on 23 April 1833. It was named after the Patron Saint of Christian charity within the Catholic Church. The formation of the St Vincent de Paul Society in Queensland was prompted by the 1893 depression. At this time a disastrous flood of the Brisbane River had caused great hardship, particularly to the poor of the city. An ensuing drought further compounded the suffering. The first Queensland Conference was formed in Brisbane in February 1894 at Red Hill, one of the poorest areas at the time.
