Why Is Vincent de Paul Influential?
(Suggest an Edit or Addition)According to Wikipedia, Vincent de Paul, CM , commonly known as Saint Vincent de Paul, was an Occitan French Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor. In 1622 Vincent was appointed a chaplain to the galleys. 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" , which he co-founded.
