A Journey Through Time

The Conference of Charity was founded by Blessed Frédéric Ozanam (a French lawyer, literary scholar and advocate; 1813–1853) along with six like-minded individuals in Paris, France in 1833. The Conference took Saint Vincent de Paul as its Patron Saint, a great saint well known for his works of charity, to help impoverished and disadvantaged people of the time.

“Make it a practice to judge persons and things in the most favourable light at all times and under all circumstances.”

~ St. Vincent de Paul, SSVP Patron Saint
