Feast Days

If you have not seen it, or have not seen it in a while, take some time this week to enjoy the full-length movie “Vincent de Paul, Charity’s Saint” on YouTube.

There are few questions more mystifying than those about motivation. What motivation drove St. Vincent de Paul?

Frederic Ozanam lit a lamp of charity– the St. Vincent de Paul Society– in this world, the flame of which has shone with brilliancy ever since.

The primary reason for the St. Vincent de Paul Society’s existence was and is to increase the holiness of its members, by service to those in need and by building deep friendships.
