A Journey to the Essential Places of Saint Vincent de Paul

Dear Confreres,

With great joy, we invite you to take part in the Pilgrimage to the Essential Vincentian Places, which will take place from June 1 to 14, 2025. This is a unique opportunity to reconnect with the roots of our vocation, rediscover the Vincentian charism, and share moments of fraternity and spirituality in the most meaningful places of Saint Vincent’s life.

What Will We Experience?

📍 We will begin at the Vincentian Motherhouse in Paris, the heart of our Congregation. From there, we will visit:

• Berceau, the birthplace of Saint Vincent

• Périgueux, Dax, Lourdes, and other spiritual centers across France

• Key Vincentian mission sites: Folleville, Châtillon, Gannes

• Major Marian shrines and places connected to Ozanam and the Daughters of Charity

🕊️ Everything will be experienced in the spirit of our mission: “For the glory of God and the service of the poor.”
