“Inspired by Gospels 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 as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age group, and economic level. 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 supported gatherings and adherence to a 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 its causes, making no distinction in those served because, in them, Vincentians see the face of Christ.
