Saint Vincent de Paul
As a young boy, Vincent wanted
to become a priest, he loved to serve during
Mass.
At age 19, he became a
priest.
When Vincent went to a place in France, their ship was
attacked by pirates. He was captured and sold as a slave to
a Frenchman who stopped practicing his catholic faith.
Vincent helped the Frenchman regain his Catholic faith and so
he was freed.
Back in France, Vincent began serving the poor. He founded a religious community called the Congregation of the
Mission, where young men were trained to
become priests.
He also founded a community of sisters to help him serve the poor.
We celebrate his feast day on September 27. He is the patron
Saint of charitable works
“Whoever keeps My commandments is the
one who loves me. If he loves Me, he will also be
loved by My Father.”
