Inspired by Gospel values,
the Society of St. Vincent De Paul, a Catholic lay organization, leads
women and men to join together spiritually by offering person-to-person
service to those who are needy and suffering, in the tradition of it's
founder, Blessed Frederick Ozanam, and patron St. Vincent De Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, members who are known as
Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background and from
many groups and economic levels. Vincentians are united in an
international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility, and
sharing which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive
gatherings and adherence to basic rule.
Organized locally Vincentians 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 it's causes, making no distinction
in those served because in them Vincentians see the face of Christ.
