Our Mission
The Conference lives its mission of “being a network of friends, inspired by Gospel values, growing in holiness, and building a more just world through personal relationships with and service to people in need,” lovingly called neighbors.
Our Core Values and Essential Elements
Spirituality
To bear witness to Christ and to his Church by showing that the faith of Christians inspires them to work for the good of humanity.
Friendship
To bring together people of good will and to assist them by mutual example and true friendship in drawing nearer to the Divine Model by fulfilling his essential precept, namely, the love of God in the person of others.
Service
To establish a personal contact between its members and those who suffer and to bring to the latter the most effective and charitable aid possible.
Our Vincentian Virtues
We as Vincentians, seek to imitate and emulate St. Vincent in the five “Essential Virtues” that promote love and respect for the poor: Focused on developing these virtues – these habits or ways of life with a firm disposition to do good – We work as servants of God caring for the poor and those in need.
