  1. Vincentian Family is very vast and wide. It is good to know each other. Thank you for the Family Tree

    1. Hi Irene, I think this is just the way the book was written- the whole international group counts as one entry… for example I saw that the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was also only listed once, in France.

  2. Soy Hna de la Providencia. Me refresca el corazon reconocer la fuente de mi formacion religious en San Vicente de Paul. El nos sigue orientando hacia el futuro y el mundo tiene las mismas necesidades.
    Me impresiona la vision de la vida religiosa que el tuvo para la iglesia de su tiempo y su simplicidad para poner el evangelio en practica para hoy y para el futuro.
