Eastern Province hosts international formation meeting

On March 14 and 15 the Vincentian Family Office in Philadelphia hosted a meeting for the identification and preparation of materials on Vincentian spirituality. This material will be offered to all the Vincentians of the world. The team hopes to spread awarness of the wealth of material produced in each country.

Vincentian formation is necessary so that we can live and share better the insights of Vincent de Paul in our time.

Further news about this will be showing up very soon in famvin.
