A Brief History
The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul dates back to 1833. Frédéric Ozanam and six other students started the society as a response to the poverty they witnessed in Paris, France.
The Society and Vincentians have been actively working to help alleviate the suffering of the needy in Windsor and Essex County since 1896. There are presently 26 conferences in our area.
