Vincentian Family

True acts of compassion often have less to do with material aid and more with making others feel seen, loved, and not alone in their struggles. In visiting those in need, we offer more than assistance—we offer presence, friendship, and a reminder of God’s love that can uplift their spirits long after we’ve gone.

July 9 is the feast day of one of our Vincentian Saints, Saint Francis Regis Clet, C.M. He was canonized by Pope Saint John Paul II in 2000.

Sister Mª Jesús, DC, shares her missionary experience in Senegal, where she lives among the poorest people with simplicity, closeness and dedication, responding to their needs in health, education and inclusion. Her testimony reflects how the Vincentian charism is incarnated in everyday life.

The Rule of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a spiritual guide rooted in the founders’ experience, focused more on holiness and love than rigid procedures. It shapes members to serve the poor with compassion and integrity, always led by God’s call.
