Exploring the relevance of the Vincentian charism for us today.

We live in a time of international upheaval: wars, violence and multiple natural disasters exacerbated by climate change. But, in the midst of the chaos, living out the charism of St. Vincent de Paul, are thousands of members of the Vincentian Family standing at the side of those suffering. Their presence and actions are a sign of hope. This presentation seeks to capture the charism of the Vincentian Family alive and thriving in the world today.
