The Story of Our Founding

The Vincentian Family marks its beginning in 1617, when St. Vincent de Paul, inspired by receiving the confession of a poor farmer, founded the Congregation of the Mission.

Move to the USA

Twelve years later, in 1845, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul crossed the ocean to St. Louis, Missouri, where the first American conference was formed.

The Diocesan Council of Biloxi

The Diocesan Council of Biloxi has 18 Conferences in Southern Mississippi, working diligently to serve those in need and foster a spirit of compassion and solidarity.

Walk With One

 

There is someone in your life right now whom Jesus longs to call to himself. He wants to spark a relationship with them and bless them with his sacraments.

 

In this Year of Mission, Catholics across the U.S. are saying “yes” to a special form of heart-to-heart accompaniment called the Walk With One initiative. This is your opportunity to be God’s instrument in the life of another person.

​

We are all called to evangelize, and thanks to the gift of the Holy Spirit, we are well-equipped for this mission. It may not mean spreading the Gospel in a foreign land or going door-to-door with the Good News—and it may require overcoming some fears—but the Lord is asking each of us to step out of our comfort zone and evangelize one-on-one.
 

Visit the National Eucharistic Revival website at the following link for the Walk With One initiative:

​

Adoration of the Most Blessed Sacrament, the Eucharist, is the most profound way to deepen your relationship with Christ.  The Eucharist is the source and summit of our Catholic faith.  Spending time before the Eucharist is Hope and Healing.  It is an opportunity to gaze upon Him who gazes upon you.
