Unknown Vincentians gather in Kuala Lumpur (Video) – Unknown at least to many in Europe, North and South America. But not unknown to “the least, the lost and the last” in 31 countries in Asia and the Oceanic region.
Our new video describes how St. Vincent’s spiritual vision evolved over the years, as he was influenced by his collaborators and by persons he encountered who were living in different forms of poverty. Based on the essay “Vincent de Paul in Châtillon: The birth of a new spiritual vision” by Jaime Corera, C.M.
If you have any doubts about the energy of the Vincentian Charism… or just need a jolt of inspiration the video above might be what you are looking for. Filmed on locations around the world it is hard not to be caught up with their enthusiasm.

Vincent’s Values: A Spiritual Perspective – This is an original essay written and read by Rev. Edward Udovic, C.M., Ph.D.
