The Relic of St Vincent Ferrer arrived safely a little while ago and I am delighted with everything. Thank you and God bless you.

Fr. Gregory

The relic came in. I wanted to cry. My heart was so overwhelmed with joy. On my 25th anniversary the Discalsed Monastery celebrated mass with me in their cloister. The Mother Prioress with the sisters came be a hard bound copy of his writings and his life. I feel it was the hand of Blessed Francisco was moving them. And with this holy relic he is moving me. I will do a more intensive study of him. I will place his relic in the large reliquary I have with John of the Cross, Teresa of Avila, and Therese of Liseaux. He will be at home.

Reliquary theca with a relic of Saint Vincent de Paul, Founder of the Congregation of the Mission

Oval glass-fronted silver theca housing a relic of Saint Vincent de Paul. The relic is affixed to a gold silk background and identified on a typeset cedula label as S. Vincent de P. On the back, under a protective cap with an image of the Holy Cross, the theca is secured by a seal of red Spanish wax with an imprint of a coat of arms of the Congregation of the Mission.

Saint Vincent de Paul († 1660) was a French Roman Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. After working for some time in Paris among imprisoned galley slaves, he returned to be the superior of what is now known as the Congregation of the Mission, or the "Vincentians" (in France known as "Lazaristes"). These priests, with vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability, were to devote themselves entirely to the people in smaller towns and villages. Vincent was zealous in conducting retreats for clergy at a time when there was great laxity, abuse, and ignorance among them. He was a pioneer in clerical training and was instrumental in establishing seminaries, and founder of the Congregation of the Mission and Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul.

He is a Holy Patron of charities; horses; hospitals; leprosy; lost articles; Madagascar; prisoners; Richmond, Virginia; spiritual help; Saint Vincent de Paul Societies; Sacred Heart Cathedral Preparatory; Vincentian Service Corps; and volunteers.
