St. Vincent de Paul Omaha, Mission

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,
becausein them Vincentians see
the face of Christ.
