FAVILA: A Living Community of the Vincentian Charism
by .famvin | May 7, 2026 | Featured, News
All that is living shows visible signs of activity. It breathes. It takes in nourishment. It grows. It animates others with its beauty. It experiences injury and absorbs the pain of others, but its deep roots in the elements of God’s creation allow it to survive.
The Vincentian Family Daily Intention
Today, May 15, 2026, we, the members of the Vincentian Family, pray for peace and justice in divided cities.
Who is the Vincentian Family?
A group of people connecting, collaborating and evangelizing: a living, growing community of more than 2 million people seeking to follow Christ, the evangelizer of the poor in the model presented by the life of Vincent de Paul and his collaborator, Louise de Marillac.
