This site is dedicated to spiritual formation in the way of our founders St. Vincent, St. Louise, St. Elizabeth, and Blessed Frederic. Sharing our Vincentian heritage calls for methods and styles of learning that go beyond classrooms and lectures. And, we believe that learning can be fun! |
Our resources are used by priests, sisters, brothers, lay volunteers, missionaries, those working in Vincentian hospitals or sponsored institutions– to enrich their personal growth and help connect our spirituality with their daily ministry.

I am confused. St Vincent died in 1660 and the Society was formed in 1833. How can St.Vincent be one of the founders?
Hi Alex, although Frederic Ozanam and his companions, working with Blessed Rosalie Rendu, formed the society in 1833, they modeled their work after St. Vincent de Paul. This video helps explain, especially the part around 1:40 (1 minute 40 seconds). http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=TTArfk8BL3M
Also, the Vincentian Family includes more than the St. Vincent de Paul Society itself- St. Vincent was founder of the Ladies of Charity, Congregation of the Mission, and Daughters of Charity (with St. Louise de Marillac). For more details, go to the Vincentian Family Tree.
