Blogging is a way to sharing our vision. There is good news… and bad news. The good news is that more and more members are using blogs to invite others to share the Vincentian Family way by telling the stories of their life and ministries. The bad news is that many more are missing this opportunity to communicate with those who might share in their ministry or follow in their footsteps.
Visit the blogs listed below and share them with young people you know. Consider starting your own blog.
The following are in no particular order and also reveal varying approaches to updating. (Note how active the Daughters of Charity are.)

Don’t forget mine! 🙂 Perhaps under the category of “Almost Daughters of Charity”? 🙂
Visit http://virtualvins.org/livefeeds for the live updates; Twitter and Facebook streams from across the Vincentian Family
Another bad news is the lack of updates… many of our vincentian blogs are sleeping without recent news and entries… I encourage all the Family members to keep their blogs and webs updated!
