●SAINT VINCENT DE PAUL●
Is Catholic community of the consecrated life, Christ's faithful and spiritual warriors led by the Holy Spirit in a catholic church, that aspires to live the gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice, hope and joy, and by working to shape a more just and compassionate society. As Vincentians and Catholic missionaries of Saint Vincent de Paul,

the Patron Saint of charitable societies. we are guided by the words of Christ in luke 4:18 "The Spirit of the Lord is upon Me, Because He has anointed Me To preach the gospel to the poor; He has sent Me to heal the brokenhearted, To proclaim liberty to the captives And recovery of sight to the blind, To set at liberty those who are oppressed" [Luke‬ ‭4:18‬]. Also we're established by the divine inspirations and mandate of our Lord Jesus Christ through Revelations on 30/04/2020,12:30Am (ladder of Grace) and on 30/10/23 (You people should go and look for the poor) , and through teachings of Saint Vincent De Paul. I, the Lord, have commanded the Consecrated ones/sanctified ones and dedicated these soldiers for this task. Yes, I have called mighty warriors to express my anger, and they will rejoice when I am exalted.”Isaiah‬13:3‬NLT‬‬

‭‭When the angel of the Lord appeared to Gideon, he said, “The Lord is with you, mighty warrior.”Judges‬6:12‬NIV‬‬

Our focus is to reach out to others through evangelization and primarily the works of Mercy.

𝗧𝗛𝗘 𝗖𝗔𝗧𝗛𝗢𝗟𝗜𝗖 𝗪𝗢𝗥𝗞𝗦 𝗢𝗙 𝗠𝗘𝗥𝗖𝗬. When Catholics serve others, they give witness to Jesus Christ. As acts of love that help us care for the needs of others, the Works of Mercy are an opportunity for Catholics to give witness to Christ. Jesus entrusted his followers the responsibility of caring for others. One way that Catholics fulfill this responsibility is by performing the Works of Mercy. Mercy is one of the fruits of charity, which enables us to show love and compassion to those who are suffering in any way, whether in mind, body, heart, or soul. The Works of Mercy are divided into two categories:
▪︎The Corporal Works of Mercy
(dealing with the body) and
▪︎The Spiritual Works of Mercy
(dealing with the mind, heart, and soul).
