VOICE FOR THE POOR

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.”
