No two families experience hardship the same way.

For some, support means groceries. For others, help with rent, utilities, medications or recovery after a disaster.

Through person-to-person service, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul uses donations to respond to each neighbor’s unique situation with the care and support they need most. Help us continue this work: https://ssvpusa.org/donate/

Today, we celebrate the Feast Day of St. Louise de Marillac.

St. Louise helped shape St. Vincent de Paul's legacy of service rooted in compassion, dignity and action. Through her work with the Daughters of Charity, she supported those who were poor, sick and marginalized, helping build systems of care that continue to serve communities today.

💙 Her example continues to inspire our mission.

On April 23, 1833, a small group of young people in Paris gathered with a simple goal: to serve their neighbors in need.

From that moment, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul was born.

Today, on the anniversary of our founding and the birthday of our founder, Frédéric Ozanam, Vincentians continue that mission through thousands of Conferences worldwide.

Happy Feast Day of Blessed Rosalie Rendu.

A Daughter of Charity who served for decades in one of Paris’s poorest neighborhoods, Blessed Rosalie formed the earliest members of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in the spirit of person-to-person service. She taught them to approach every neighbor with dignity, compassion, and presence.

Her words still guide us today: “If you have nothing to give, give yourself.”

Pray for us, Blessed Rosalie.
