In 1635 St. Vincent de Paul sent Vincentians to Toul to take charge of the Hospital of the Holy Spirit, more of a refuge than a medical facility, in his efforts to bring relief to Lorraine which was ravaged by war during his lifetime.

The Hotel-Dieu was built in the 15th century as a hospital. This is typical of the hospitals that the church operated in the time of St. Vincent de Paul.
