Dear Members of the Vincentian family,

As we celebrate the feast of St. Vincent de Paul, on behalf of the Vincentian Family and the leaders of our various branches, I write to inform you that we have decided to dedicate this coming year to the “New Evangelization.”

We will do so as a Vincentian Family by focusing on  three key areas of fidelity in following Jesus Christ, evangelizer and servant of the poor:

  • a need for personal and communal conversion;
  • a need to go beyond ourselves by listening to the cry of the poor, especially those who live on the periphery of our cities, and on the margins of society today;
  • a need to evangelize and provide new ways of pastoral care for the family.
