Fun Fact

Vincent was a French priest, He devoted his life to seeking out the most vulnerable of society and decided to do something about the poverty he saw in Paris.

Vincent founded the Daughters of Charity, making sure the sisters could actually serve the community instead of being a cloistered order, which was the norm of the time.

Prayer

Saint Vincent, intercede to the Holy Ghost that I may serve others with the abilities, gifts, talent, and time I have to my greatest capacity.

Amen.
