In a world torn apart by conflict the cry for justice and peace grows urgent. As members of the Vincentian Family we cannot remain indifferent to the pain of the poor, the displaced, and those who die unheard. Pray with us. Pray with those who suffer. Pray that God’s Kingdom may become an active hope in our broken world.
