Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to those who are needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed Frederic Ozanam, and patron, St. Vincent de Paul.

 

As a reflection of the whole family of God, members, who are known a Vicentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level.  Vicentians are united in an international society of charity by ther spirit of poverty, humanity, and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings, and adherence to a basic rule.

 

Organized locally, Vicentians witness God's love by embracing all works of charity and justice.  The society collaborates with other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vicentians see the face of Christ.

 

 

 

"We must do what is agreeable to God.  Therefore, we must do what our Lord Jesus Christ did when preaching the gospel.  Let us go to the poor!"
