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.
