Who We Are

Evolving Vincentian Family

Over four hundred years ago a smart and ambitious young man, Vincent de Paul, started to become aware of the suffering and abandonment of poor and marginalized people and decided to consecrate his life to serve them. It was 1617. Today over four million people follow in his steps. The Vincentian family today is large, multicultural, multilingual, and prophetic with more than 150 branches all over the world. Our office is currently surveying and cataloging these branches who claim a common Vincentian heritage.
