Saint Vincent de Paul (1581-1660) was a French Catholic priest known for his commitment to the poor and the sick. He founded the Congregation of the Mission (Lazarists) and the Daughters of Charity with Louise de Marillac. Devoted to charity, he organized relief works for the most destitute, particularly orphans and galley slaves. His work had a profound impact on the Church and society of his time. He was also an influential spiritual advisor to the nobility and the clergy. Canonized in 1737, he is today the patron saint of charitable works. His legacy lives on through many charitable organizations that bear his name.
