Give A Goat

This Father’s Day, honor the dads, grandfathers, uncles—and even the priests—who’ve shaped your life. For $25, you can send a goat to a war refugee families in urgent need of milk, nutrition, and income. It’s more than a gift—it’s hope and a future for entire communities.

Each goat is delivered by the Vincentian priests in refugee camps across Rwanda and Burundi, where war and famine have left thousands of families with nothing. Many of these fathers can’t feed their children or find work—but one goat can change that. It produces milk for nourishment, babies for breeding, and income from selling extra milk—all of which restore purpose and pride to fathers in crisis.

When you donate today, we’ll send you a printable certificate to give your loved one—a beautiful way to say “Happy Father’s Day.” Much better than a tie, right? Whether it’s for your dad, your parish priest, or the father figure in your life… this is a gift that gives back, forever.

Yes, I want to help!

Maison Mère Project

More than 200 years ago we moved here and built this motherhouse to advance the mission of St. Vincent dePaul.

God is calling us to renew it and ourselves to do even more. We hope you will join us.

Seminary Project

St. Vincent knew priests, in order to serve God’s people well, needed deep faith, a solid education, and deep love for people living in poverty. Vincentian seminaries are essential if we want good priests.

Fostering Faith

Vincentian International Mission Services continues the ministry of St. Vincent dePaul who saw the face of Christ in people living in poverty, living on the margins, people whom the world considers unimportant.

Thanks to generous donor-partners, VIMS helps fuel the ministry of Vincentian priests and brothers serving in very poor communities where food, medicine, education, housing, clean water and so much more are in short supply.

Join us in making the world kinder, more productive, and more the way God wants it

To all friends and donors: The Vincentians in Madagascar wrote to thank us for our generous gifts in support of Marillac College in Fort Dauphin. Thanks to your kindness, they are on their way to installing Internet service throughout the campus so teachers can access...

Vincentian International Mission Services (VIMS) helps fuel the growth and development of the Congregation of the Mission especially in countries where resources are few and progress is difficult. We also raise funds for special projects of the Superior General so that the mission of St. Vincent dePaul thrives in the 21st century.

Vincentians are agents of change. In his day, St. Vincent inspired clergy and lay people, royalty and peasants to serve those neglected by society. We continue his ministry today. Join us in making the world holier, kinder, more productive, in short, more the way God wants it.
