Patron Saint
Saint Vincent de Paul (April 24, 1581 - September 27, 1660)

His feast was formerly kept on July 19, but is now observed on
September 27 - the day of his death.
He studied humanities at Dax with the Cordeliers and he
graduated in theology at Toulouse. Vincent de Paul was ordained
in 1600, remaining in Toulouse until he went to Marseille for an
