History[edit]
In 1950, a parish called St. Mary’s of the Wayside Chapel started providing resources to people in need in Downtown San Diego. 14 years later, the chapel became the St. Vincent de Paul Center, offering food, clothing and charity to poor and homeless people.
In 1982, Father Joe Carroll was assigned as director of the St. Vincent de Paul Center.[1]
Father Joe’s Villages has helped tens of thousands of homeless people and served millions of meals.[citation needed] As of 2020, Father Joe's Villages is the largest service provider for homeless individuals in the City of San Diego.[citation needed]
