Founder’s Week 2012
September 23 – 29
Be Vincentian: Faith-filled
Citizens
“Pray always that God will unite
hearts.” – St. Vincent de Paul
As Americans we are challenged to enter into this “political
season” as persons of faith. As followers of St. Vincent de Paul,
we seek the common good for all and especially for persons who live
in poverty or under oppression. For St. Vincent, a man of great
faith and “father of the poor”, faith provided a truth: that every
person is endowed with human dignity and every person and
institution has the responsibility to create the conditions in
society that allow human dignity to flourish. St. Vincent's efforts
offer a practical approach to living the truth about human dignity.
May we be inspired and strengthened by Founder’s Week 2012 theme
“Be Vincentian: Faith-filled Citizens” and exercise civic
responsibilities and practice the virtues of faith and
solidarity.
