A 5 Day Vincentian Retreat
To mark the 400th anniversary of its foundation, the Congregation presents a documentary filmed at the Mother House in Paris, exploring Vincentian history, charism, and mission from the place where, four centuries later, the spirit of Saint Vincent remains alive.
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.
After losing her home at 16 following a family breakdown, Kerry now works with Depaul UK helping young people and their families rebuild communication before conflict leads to homelessness. Through education, mediation, careful listening, and early intervention, Reconnect shows how timely support can restore relationships, reduce pressures, and keep families together.
Violence rarely begins with the first punch. Long before bodies are attacked, language can turn neighbors into threats, people into categories, and prejudice into something socially permissible. From a street assault in Spain to political rhetoric, social media and mass persecution, the words a society tolerates can help define the violence it later finds imaginable.
Sudan is enduring the world’s largest internal displacement crisis, with famine, mass atrocities, sexual violence, and a shattered health system affecting tens of millions. Yet the war is increasingly slipping from international attention as aid falls short. When suffering becomes familiar enough to ignore, neglect itself becomes part of the catastrophe.
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.
A £1 million grant from The Julia Rausing Trust has enabled Depaul UK to buy the building that houses London’s only emergency accommodation service dedicated to young people at risk of rough sleeping. The Youth Hub now has a secure future, continuing to provide beds, personalised support, and a route into longer-term housing for vulnerable 18- to 24-year-olds.
Niagara University will celebrate its Vincentian heritage and mission during Vincentian Heritage Week, Sept. 20-27, as part of the university’s 170th anniversary celebration.
