Vincentians are known for their home visits, but “home” doesn’t always look the same.

Last year, St. Vincent de Paul Vincentians met neighbors where they were, through nearly 2 million person-to-person visits across the country:

🏠 In homes
🏥 In hospitals
🏛️ In prisons
🏘️ In eldercare settings
🏙️ In community spaces

Because dignity, compassion, and listening begin wherever someone is. Learn more about home visits: https://ow.ly/YuIF50Y6sRC.

“The problem that divides men and women in our day is …whether society will be only a great exploitation to the profit of the strongest or a consecration of each individual for the good of all and especially for the protection of the weak. There are a great many men and women who have too much and who wish to have more; there are a great many others who do not have enough, who have nothing, and who are willing to take if someone gives to them. Between these two classes of men, a confrontation is coming, and this menacing confrontation will be terrible: on the one side, the power of gold, on the other the power of despair.
We must cast ourselves between these two enemy armies, if not to prevent, at least to deaden the shock. And our youth and our mediocrity does not make our role of mediators easier than our title of Christian makes us responsible. In this, there is the possible usefulness of our Society of St. Vincent de Paul.”
(Bl. Frederic Ozanam, November 13, 1836)

Today we joyfully celebrate the feast day of our patron, St. Vincent de Paul!

St. Vincent once reminded his confreres that, “God asks primarily for our heart — our heart — and that’s what counts.” On this feast day, we ask for his intercession so that we, too, may surrender our hearts to God and live lives of true charity in service of our neighbors in need.

🙏 St. Vincent de Paul, pray for us!
