GENTLE SERVANT
Welcome! Gentle Servant is a place to explore what it means to be a Vincentian in today’s world. To connect with the poor more deeply through the Society of St. Vincent de Paul.
I invite you to pause from ‘doing’ and ‘reflect’ on our Vincentian journey, through stories, insights and inspirations that move us forward. We all need to grow and refresh; whether novice or veteran, discerning or just curious.
We are the gentle servants…His hands and feet in the world.
"Take my yoke upon you, and learn from me; for I am gentle and lowly in heart, and you will find rest for your souls."
(Matthew 11:29)
