The Spirit of Service Award

St. John’s University, founded in 1870 by the Vincentian community, is “inspired by St. Vincent de Paul’s compassion and zeal for service.” In his spirit, the University “pledges to foster those qualities required for anticipating and responding to the educational, ethical, cultural, social, professional and religious needs of dynamic cities in a dynamic world.”
(University Mission Statement, St. John’s University)

The Spirit of Service Award acclaims individuals whose vision, accomplishments and good works embody the essence of St. Vincent de Paul and reflect the vision of the University.
