OUR PRATRON SAINTS
The Congregation finds its inspiration in Our Lady, Mother of Mercy, whose tenderness and strength welcome and protect all her children with love. She envelops us under her mantle, comforts us in our difficulties, and encourages us to faithfully follow her Son, Jesus Christ. Mary teaches us that mercy is both care and courage, and that serving others is walking with God.
Saint Vincent de Paul, our second patron, is a model of generous dedication to the poor and needy. A 17th-century priest in France, he founded the Daughters of Charity and the Mission Fathers and dedicated his life to educating, welcoming, and caring for those most in need. Vincentian spirituality, marked by humble and loving service, continues to enrich our life and mission, guiding every gesture of care and every work of mercy we perform.
Together, Mary, Mother of Mercy, and Saint Vincent de Paul inspire us to live an active faith, putting mercy into action in all dimensions of our life: education, health, pastoral care, and service to the most vulnerable. Serving with love, simplicity, and courage is at the heart of our mission, making every action a living expression of God's mercy.
