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 20 Conferences in Southern Mississippi, working diligently to serve those in need and foster a spirit of compassion and solidarity.
