Vincentian Scholarship

The Vincentian Studies Institute, founded in 1979, is sponsored by the ten provinces of the Congregation of the Mission (the Vincentians) and the Daughters of Charity in the United States. The Institute's mission is to promote a living interest in the historical, spiritual and charitable heritage of the Vincentian family in following Jesus Christ, the Evangelizer of the Poor and the source and model of all charity, under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul, (1581-1660) and Saint Louise de Marillac, (1591-1660). The organization periodically offers continuing education opportunities and symposia, and also collaborates with a variety of other programs intended to promote a greater understanding of the Vincentian history and tradition.

Books, Artwork and Other Media

The Vincentian Studies Institute also operates the Vincentian Heritage Bookstore. At this site, you will find publications about the various founders and branches of the Vincentian Family, as well as artwork and other media.
