🎂 Happy birthday to our founder! 🥳

On April 24, 1581, St. Vincent de Paul was born.

His belief that every person deserves dignity and compassion transformed how the world responds to poverty and continues to guide our work today.

More than four centuries later, Vincentians carry forward that mission, serving neighbors in need through acts of charity, justice, and love.

💙 Inspired by his example, we continue to serve.

Amen.

Happy birthday St. Vincent DePaul!

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.
