Our History

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is an international Catholic lay organization dedicated to helping the poor and disadvantaged. 

The society was founded in 1833 in Paris by Blessed Frederick Ozanam, and others, to promote the charitable works and spirit of St. Vincent de Paul.

It is the largest Catholic lay organization in the world, with

 international headquarters in Paris, and the United States headquarters in St. Louis, Mo.

St. Vincent, a priest in France in the 1600s, established a group of charities in Catholic church parishes to help the poor and the sick. Those charities led to the formation of the Daughters of Charity with Sister Louise de Marillac. 

St. Vincent  founded several hospitals and was a pioneer in developing seminaries to train Catholic priests.

   He died in 1660.
