AIC Celebrates 100 Years in Bolivia

On the Feast of St. Vincent this year, over 100 members of the AIC in Bolivia gathered to celebrate their one hundredth anniversary of service to the poor throughout Bolivia.

In a celebration that opened with the Eucharist, the members recalled the service of some of their elders, and noted the founding a of a new group of servants of God’s poor. Joined by various members of the Vincentian Family in the city of La Paz, It was a joyous time to celebrate, and to hear the grateful words of city representatives! Here are a few more photos to enjoy.

The AIC is the first of Vincent’s foundations and today represents some 200,000 members serving on 5 continents. In the United States the AIC is known as the Ladies of Charity USA.
