Saint Vincent De Paul was born April 24 In Pouy ,1581 and died Sept. 27,1660. He went to school at Daux & was taught by Franciscans.
He was appointed into the church Sept 23 1600 and graduated from the University of Toulouse in 1604. He was the founder of the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists/ Vincentians) because he preached missions to the poor and helped educate and train a pastoral clergy. After a while, he spent a year in Rome, then went to Paris, where he then stayed permanently. Later on in life,he began seeking spiritual guidance from Cardinal Pierre de Bérulle. In 1612, he was named pastor of Saint-Medard in Clichy, a poor rural parish northwest of Paris. Later on, In 1639, There was a war. Vincent collected money and other things to help the debt. The members of his Congregation were sent to pass out the aid and help relieve the people, and sending Daughters of Charity to minister to victims and refugees. This ministry continued during the 30 years war, and a brutal civil war called the Fronde.

In June of 1643, Vincent began serving on the Queen's Council of Ecclesiastical Affairs. There he exercised significant influence on the selection of good and worthy bishops, oversaw the renewal of monastic life, dealt with Jansenism, and was able to keep the plight of the people and the poor before the government of France.He continued to do this for a long time.

CST

SOLIDARITY

St. Vincent De Paul is under this category because when he was accused of theft by his roommate, He did not defend himself to show that in his heart that he must be more like the Lord and not all about his personal image. St. Vincent De Paul also cared about and helped the poor in their times of need.

FANS/HATERS

St. Vincent was loved by many because of the good works that he had been doing. Such as helping the poor and making changes within his ministry. But, he was also disliked. People tried numerous times to make him look bad but he kept his image of solidarity. One example was when his roommate framed him. Another example would be when he got captured.

WHAT I FOUND INSPIRING

What really caught my attention was the fact that he held his head high no matter who judged him, accused him, or even trying to remove his presence. St. Vincent De Paul had a certain mission in life and he accomplished it. So in result, his doings made an impact on the world and his legacy still remains today.
