As we prepare for April 17, 2025 — the day we will celebrate 400 years since our foundation — the French edition of L’Osservatore Romano has published a special dossier dedicated to our history and charism.

Coordinated by journalist Charles de Pechpeyrou — who also wrote the editorial titled “Vincent, the Friend of the Poor” — the issue includes, among other content, a letter from Pope Francis, a message from the Superior General, and a contribution by Philippe Lamblin, head of the Congregation’s historical archives, on its origins.
