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 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 that mission forward, serving neighbors in need through acts of charity, justice, and love.

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.
