Speaking of the charism
Public Group active 2 months, 1 week agoThe charism of Vincent, Louise, Elizabeth etc. resonates with people today.
This group is for anyone who is involved in in communicating the charism and would like to share best practices and otherwise have a forum for sharing mutual concerns.
Are you a communications person for a Vincentian group?
Do you use FaceBook, Twitter, etc. to speak of some facet of this charism?
Would you like to spread the word of your initiatives?
Do you have a question that you would like to hear about from others?

Speaking of the charism: 4 months, 2 weeks agoOur Ontario Council of the Society is starting work on our first ever strategic plan. Our initial session was very good as we tried to determine the areas that we’re hope to focus on. The one connection between all that we do is our spirituality. While coming to this conclusion is simple, we now need to determine how we can incorporate it as the…[Read more]

Speaking of the charism: 1 year ago · updated 11 months, 3 weeks agoAs Vice-president of the Ontario, Canada Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, I know we have a lot of very devout and dedicated members but I also feel in todays world, it is easier than ever to allow our service to Christ in the poor to become almost business like. This also includes our conference meetings. As we strive to improve our spirituality,…[Read more]

Speaking of the charism: 1 year, 5 months ago · updated 1 year, 5 months agoSeeing the following report on Roman TV about a comic book life of Augustine reminded me of some attempts various people have made with regard to the life of Vicent and even to explain systemic change.

Does anyone know of other attempts related to our charism?

Check out the St. Vincent de Paul Image Archives, Fr. John, where there are a few samples. I’m sure they must have come from comic books. There are two I could find on St Vincent – there may be more.
Pictures: Spain, comic style
5. Drawings, Engravings/Spain

The entire link wasn’t activated for some reason. If you copy and paste the entire link into your browser, it will take you to the website. You won’t have to search for the folder. This site is very deep, and I spent HOURS searching it. But it was worth it, because Fr. Rybolt (and friends?) has done a fantastic job of collecting, tweaking…[Read more]

More cartoons – these are from Peru:

The Spanish drawings appear to be for children’s books/media also:

Here’s a complete life of St Louise. We used several of these images in our Beacons of Light, Program 4, which airs in Baton Rouge tomorrow at 3:00 PM CDT. (P.S. I had to Photoshop the images so they wouldn’t have too much “noise.” Used the Gassian Blur tool.)

WOW!
Some of these I knew I had buried in my hard drive somethwere and others I was not aware of.
Thanks so much for taking the time to pull all these together.

My pleasure, Fr. John! Sharing these great pics w y’all is a little like what St. Augustine and St. Monica must have experienced at the ”window of Ostia.” Not as deep and spiritually profound, but it’s a taste.

Speaking of the charism: 1 year, 5 months agoThanks for sharing this.
Have you done any evaluation of these activities. Maybe evaluation is not the right word.
What have you learned about speaking of the charism through these activities. -

Speaking of the charism: 1 year, 5 months agoI’d like to share about the little iniatives we have in Sydney to do our little bit to spread the Vincentian charism. Since WYD 2008 our little FAMVIN Australian office has continued and has provided the following opportunities to share the Vincentian charism:
1. We have offered 2 “Encounter” experiences. “Encounter” is the opportunity for…[Read more]

Hopefully we will never need this but there is some good advice here.

Speaking of the charism: 1 year, 6 months agoPerhaps the first question for this group is the basic one of identifying ourselves, our responsibilities and what we would like to see discussed in this group.
Perhaps a further question might be how much time do you devote to speaking of the charism each week and what has been you most effective channell to spread the story of the charism.
