Last Thursday was the birthday of Blessed Frederic Ozanam (b. 1813), the founder of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. The native of Milan started the charity as a 20-year-old student at the Sorbonne in Paris when his sense of social justice was awakened.

Earlier this year, we were blessed with the coming together of similar (and younger) students in our parish, who also wanted to do their part in addressing the social justice issues of their time. This team, which we call the “Young Persons SVP,” is now 12-strong and is mentored by some SVP members.
