What a great honor! We should all have another look at Pedro’s work: http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=iNN8R3SvkR8
So happy to know that one of our Vincentian Fathers have received such honor. Truly, St. Vincent’s Spirit and legacy runs deep into the veins of his followers. We hope to see more of them championing the cause of charity and solidarity. But even without those honors, we want to see Vincentians committing themselves to the cause of the poor. MOre power.
