Today we remember the founder of the Saint Vincent DePaul society. He was ordinary man who has a passion for helping the poor. With a few friends he started to help those in need, others joined in helping it was the beginning of the Saint Vincent DePaul society.
He was not a priest but a dedicated lay person. It is amazing what one person can do with passion and concern for those in need.
If you have a Vincent DePaul society in your area consider helping them with their mission. You too can be " A voice for the Poor"
Why the Voice of the Poor?
The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is concerned not only
with alleviating need but also with identifying those
structures, societal and legislative, that cause and
perpetuate poverty. This mission manifests itself in the
Society’s admonition to “End Poverty Through Systemic
Change.”
