The Vincentians have been around since 1625. They currently have 3,106 members in 507 local communities in 95 countries. That truly is a universal outreach.
If you ever travel to Perryville, Missouri, I would recommend a stop at the Miraculous Medal Shrine which is home to the Vincentian community. It is a beautiful and serene setting.
To all of you who serve in the many different St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Stores across the country, thank you for your kindness and witness to the faith.
I give a special tip of the hat to the Mall of St. Vincent De Paul Thrift Store in Cheyenne, Wyoming.
