Grozio,

Dear friends,

I am pleased to share another of our Vincentian Vocation videos with you. This week's video is Formation Shaped in the CITY. I invite you to hop on the subway with a group of Vincentian seminarians as they ride through New York City on their way to Sunday Mass in Brooklyn. For these young men, Sunday isn’t just a break from seminary life—it’s a chance to be immersed in the heart of the Church. Stay tuned for more videos in my future messages.

Vincentian insights from the Province

Fr. John Freund, CM

"Vincent confronted the traditions of his time and opened new paths and yet also understood the consequences of all of this as he placed women in the midst of social and religious life in his foundation of the Confraternities of Charity and the Daughters of Charity."

Fr. Pat Griffin, CM

"One of Vincent’s great gifts was keeping his eyes open to the virtues and capabilities of others. This insight enabled him to encourage them to carry out so many of the ministries that were close to his heart—and they imbibed his spirit."
