| History: Saint Vincent De Paul
was born in Gascony in 1581. After completing his studies, he was ordained a
priest and went to Paris where he served in a parish. He founded the
Congregation of the Mission to supervise the formation of priests and to
give support to the poor. With the help of Saint Louise de Marillac, he also
founded the Congregation of the Daughters of Charity. He died in Paris in
1660. His feast is celebrated on
September 27th. Prayer: God our Father, you gave Vincent de Paul the courage and holiness of an apostle for the well-being of the poor and the formation of the clergy. Help us to be zealous in continuing his work. Grant this through our Lord Jesus Christ, your Son, who lives and reigns with you and the Holy Spirit, one God, for ever and ever.
