St. Vincent de Paul (1581-1660) Vincent realized that God wanted him to work with those living in poverty. He embodied energetic, humble service to those in need; but, also recognized that charitable works musts be well-organized in order to be effective. Vincent founded the Congregation of the Missions, the Ladies of Charity, and the Daughters of Charity to respond to the needs. Canonized in 1737, he is a patron of charitable societies.
