Today, we honor Blessed Giuseppe Toniolo, S.S.V.P. (1845–1918), a devoted Catholic, husband, father, professor of economics and sociology, and advocate for a society rooted in Christian values.

Bl. Toniolo was an active member of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul and called charity the “synthesis of all virtues.” Through his faith, work, and dedication to the common good, he showed how holiness can be lived through everyday life and service to others.

Today, we remember Blessed Louis François, C.M. and his companions.

During the French Revolution, an anti-clerical movement required priests to take various oaths rejecting the authority of the Holy See and pledging their allegiance to a state-sponsored Church. Eventually, those who refused to take these oaths faced the death penalty. That is why five confreres, now declared Blessed by the Church, were killed: Bl. Louis François, Bl. Jean Henri Gruyer, Bl. Pierre Rene Rogue, Bl. Jean Charles Caron and Bl. Nicolas Colin. They courageously lived out their faith and gave their lives in service to Christ and the Church.

May their example inspire us to live with greater courage, compassion, and dedication to our mission and to those we are called to serve.

Welcome to the new month. May September bring you new opportunities and many reasons to be grateful.

Today we celebrate the feast day of Blessed Ghebre Michael.

Born in Ethiopia, Bl. Ghebre Michael dedicated himself to seeking truth and growing in his love for Christ. His journey of faith was one of perseverance and courage, and he remained steadfast even in the face of suffering and persecution.

Blessed Ghebre Michael served with Fr. Justin de Jacobis, C.M., in 19th century Ethiopia and was arrested and martyred for his faith.

May his example inspire us to remain committed to our faith, to seek truth with an open heart, and to serve others with love and compassion.

Yesterday, we welcomed members of the community for our Province Office Open House!

Guests toured our newly renovated building, admired the beautiful stained-glass windows of Vincentian saints, and joined us for the official blessing of our new home.

Thank you to everyone who came to celebrate with us!

The Vincentians are settling in very well at the San Antonio Formation House!

Their days begin with meditation, morning prayer, and Holy Mass together with the internal seminarians. What a blessing to live in community, grow in faith, and serve God together.

We praise God for His everyday blessing of community life as Vincentians and for all His mercy and kindness. Let His will be done.

One week after celebrating the Assumption of the Blessed Virgin Mary, we honor the Queenship of the Blessed Virgin Mary. This feast reminds us that because Mary is the Mother of Jesus Christ, she shares in His heavenly glory as Queen, not by her own power, but through her Son.
