Tomaž Mavri?. In it, he stresses how “service to Christ in the poor” brings about a renewal in today’s Church.
“I hope that the celebrations of the fourth centenary will highlight the importance of St. Vincent's vision of service to Christ in the poor for the renewal of the Church of our time,” the Pope writes. Today, the Vincentian Family includes over 100 branches of priests, brothers, sisters, and laypeople. No matter which branch they belong to, their mission remains the same: partake in and create charitable works and assist in the spiritual guidance and formation of the clergy and laity.
The Pope also takes note of two other expressions of the Vincentian lifestyle: “Confraternities of Charity,” now known as the International Association of Charity or Vincentian Volunteers and the “Daughters of Charity.”
