Canada

As Vincentians we hold these values: see Christ in anyone who suffers, come together as a family, have personal contact with the poor, and help in all possible ways.

Here in Canada, the mission of the SSVP is: To live the Gospel message by serving Christ in the poor with love, respect, justice and joy.

In Canada, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is very excited to be undertaking the issue of housing during a 3-year national campaign.

As I meet and talk to fellow Vincentians about social justice, I am often asked what social justice is.

One term we often see used is affordable housing, but I believe the term affordable is a very subjective.
