As we approach November 22, the international Vincentian Family is preparing to celebrate a special milestone: the 10th Anniversary of the Vincentian Family Office. Founded on Pentecost in 2015, the Office has served as a point of communion, collaboration, and mission—helping unite Vincentians around the world in service to those living in poverty.

This celebration also marks a moment of gratitude for the leadership of Fr. Joseph V. Agostino, C.M., who has guided the Office since its founding and will now conclude his service as Executive Director. With a spirit of fraternity and thanksgiving, he invites all members of the Vincentian Family to join the celebration in prayer and unity—whether in person or online.

To make this celebration accessible to everyone, the events will be livestreamed on YouTube.

A Moment of Gratitude and Renewal

This anniversary is not only a time to remember what has been accomplished over the past decade, but also an opportunity to renew our shared commitment to the Vincentian mission: to make the love of Christ present by serving those who are poor.

We warmly encourage all branches, communities, collaborators, and friends of the Vincentian Family to participate live, or to hold the celebration in prayer from wherever you are.

Let this be a moment in which we give thanks for our shared path, honor those who have served, and look ahead with renewed hope to the mission entrusted to us.

“May we never tire of working in the Lord’s vineyard, where we remain united by our common charism.” – Fr. Joseph V. Agostino, C.M.
