On 17 April 1625, the Little Company of the Congregation of the Mission of St Vincent de Paul was born. In this jubilee year in which the Congregation of the Mission celebrates the fourth centenary of its foundation, Pope Francis addressed a beautiful message to our Superior General Father Thomas Mavric, to all the confreres throughout the world and to the whole Vincentian Family.
The Holy Father’s letter is an encouragement to live this anniversary with joy so that it may be for all of us a commitment to deepen our spirituality and to renew our fidelity to the Vincentian charism, which has its foundation on the example of Christ the evangelizer and servant of the poor.
