"No work of
charity is
foreign to the
Society."
SOCIETY OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
OMAHA, NEBRASKA
Mission Statement
Inspired by Gospel values, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul, a
Catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together
to grow spiritually by offering person-to person service to the
needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, Blessed
Frederic Ozanam, and patron St. Vincent de Paul.
As a reflection of the whole family of God, Members, who are
known as Vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural
background, age group, and economic level. Vincentians are
united in an international society of charity by their spirit of
poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and
reflection, mutually supportive gatherings and adherence to a
basic Rule.
Organized locally, Vincentians witness God’s love by embracing
all works of charity and justice. The Society collaborates with
other people of good will in relieving need and addressing its
causes, making no distinction in those served, because in them
Vincentians see the face of Christ.
