Welcome to St. Vincent's Academy, Burdwan

OUR PATRON - ST. VINCENT DE PAUL

St. Vincent was born in a village called Pouy, France on 24th April, 1581. Educated by the Franciscans at Dax, France, he was ordained a priest in 1600 and graduated from the University of Toulouse in 1604. He spent a year in Rome to continue his studies and then went to Paris. He placed himself under the spiritual guidance of the celebrated cardinal Peerre de Berulle, who entrusted him with the paris of Clochy. When attending a peasant who was seriously ill, Vincent witnessed the misery of the peasant people. He founded a society of priests to work for the relief of poor peasants. With the help of Louse Marilac, he founded the Society of “The Sisters of Charity” in 1633 to attend to the poor and sick and to conduct homes for foundlings, orphans and the aged. He worked among gallery –slaved and rescued hundreds of slaves in North Africa. Vincent, the peasent priest, was declared a saint in 1737 and later he was proclaimed patron of all charitable societies. Outstanding among them is the society that bears his name and is infused with his spirit. This society was founded in Paris by Frederic Qzanam in the year 1833. It bears the name “The Society of Vincent de Paul”, a catholic charitable organization decided to the service of the poor. Vincent wrote that we should not judge the poor by their clothes, outward appearance or by their mental capacity. We should be caring for the poor, consoling them, helping them, guiding them. The service of the poor is to be preferred to all else. Pray to God to inspire us with compassion and pity. He died at the age of 79, on 27th September, 1660. His feast day is celebrated on 27th September
