As religious congregations entrust more of their ministries to lay leadership, how can the Vincentian charism remain alive, creative, and faithful to the poor? A new report by Fr. Joe Agostino, C.M., explores the opportunities and challenges of Ministerial Public Juridic Persons and what they may mean for the future of the Vincentian Family.
Vincentian spiritual renewal is a lifelong journey through vocation, conversion, and mission. Saint Vincent de Paul moved from personal ambition to recognizing Christ in the poor and devoting his life to evangelization, clergy formation, and organized charity. His path invites Vincentians today to rediscover their calling, deepen their conversion, and rekindle their missionary zeal.
A fresh, energetic hymn to Blessed Frédéric Ozanam invites a new generation to turn faith into action. With a modern, funky sound and a timeless Vincentian message, the song celebrates Ozanam’s love for Christ, his friendship with those who were poor, and his call to laypeople today: go forth, draw near, serve, and build bonds of charity.
September is often called the “Vincentian month,” and with good reason. On September 27, the universal Church celebrates Saint Vincent de Paul, whose vision of following Christ, Evangelizer of the Poor, has inspired generations of Christians and given rise to an extraordinarily diverse spiritual family. Yet Saint Vincent’s solemn celebration is not the only important date that fills the month.
A powerful 7.4-magnitude earthquake struck western Colombia on August 10, killing hundreds and devastating communities. The Vincentian Family has not escaped the tragedy: a Vincentian volunteer died, houses and churches were damaged, and communities are mobilizing in prayer, solidarity, assessment, and aid. Here is what we know so far.
In the face of the human tragedy in Ceuta, the Vincentian Family Office expresses its sorrow for those who have died or remain missing and calls for immediate protection for the survivors, especially children. No border, political interest, or immigration status can be placed above a person’s life, dignity, and rights.
The Vincentian Family Office offers a free booklet, available in English and Spanish, presenting ten Vincentian takeaways from Pope Leo XIV’s Magnifica Humanitas for reflection, dialogue, formation, and action.
With joy and hearts full of hope, we present the II Convocation of the Vincentian Family document entitled, “Keeping the Fire Burning to be Pilgrims of Hope”.
