Four of Paul’s epistles are called “captivity letters:” Ephesians, Philippians, Colossians and Philemon.
Vincentian View
A Vincentian View: Kindred Spirits
Whom would Vincent consider as close to his heart in thinking and serving?
A Vincentian View: A Father had Two Sons

A Vincentian View: From Homelessness to Hope

A Vincentian View: Blood Sisters and Brothers
As a Vincentian Family, we know the close ties that we have with those who are poor among us. A DNA test might reveal that it is not just a matter of the spirit but also of the blood.
