“Systemic change” – a phrase that has entered into the Vincentian Family vocabulary in recent years.

For many who are used to focusing on  the immediate and pressing needs of people it can seem abstract and  new. Yet it has roots deep in Vincentian Family tradition whether as exemplified in the life and words of Vincent and Louise or Frederic who said “Charity is the Samaritan who pours oil on the wounds of the traveler who has been attacked. It is justice’s role to prevent the attack.”

In its simplist form is can be described at giving our brothers and sisters  “a hand up”.

VinFormation has recently added some new items to it collection resources related to systemic change.

• The Spirituality of Systemic Change a revised version of presentation based on Fr. Campusano’s well-received presentation at the Fall 2013 gathering of the Vincentian Family.
