Frédéric Ozanam and six of his companions founded the Society of St. Vincent de Paul on April 23, 1833. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in 1997. The Society’s patron, St. Vincent de Paul, was born on April 24, 1581 and canonized by Pope Leo XIII in 1737. He was named the patron saint of all works of charity.
Please say a prayer for all the friends, workers, donors, and volunteers who make up the Society of SVdP in Yellowstone County.
