A 5 Day Vincentian Retreat
Inspired by the diary of Blessed Alberto Marvelli, “Teach Me to Love Like You” turns his passionate desire for holiness into a modern prayer. It is a song about faith that moves beyond words—into service, courage, reflection, and love for those who suffer. A call to young laypeople to let Christ transform ordinary life into mission.
The Vincentian Family is pleased to share a brand-new orchestral album by Javier F. Chento, now available as a free gift to our global community. Bringing together expressive symphonic writing, memorable melodies, and a wide range of moods and colors, this collection is music to accompany many different moments of life—whether you are looking for something uplifting, peaceful, reflective, dramatic, or simply beautiful to listen to.
Homelessness is one of the clearest and most painful signs of the fractures in modern society. Amid luxury housing, financial growth, and technological progress, millions still sleep on sidewalks, in shelters, or in unsafe temporary accommodations. Each is a person with wounds, fears, memories, and hopes—and their situation reflects exclusion, trauma, abandonment, and systemic failure.
A modern hymn with the heart of a timeless prayer. As we approach the September 27 feast of Saint Vincent de Paul, this song celebrates a life shaped by faith, compassion, and action—and invites a new generation to recognize Christ in those who are forgotten, stand beside those in need, and continue Vincent’s mission today.
“Send Us Where the Poor Still Call,” a preview from Javier F. Chento’s upcoming album “On a Mission,” invites teenagers to imagine a conversation with St. Vincent de Paul about today’s world. Through a call to service, mercy, and action, the song challenges young people to recognize Christ in those who are poor, excluded, or forgotten—and to ask where they are being sent.
From October 28 to November 1, 2026, members of the Vincentian Family will gather in Prigen, Indonesia, for the 1st Asia-Pacific continental encounter (VIFAP)—a moment to listen, discern, celebrate, and dream together.
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.
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”.
