Society of St. Vincent de Paul

The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is a worldwide Christian community founded in Paris in 1833 by a group of young Catholic lay people and an older person who joined together to create the first Conference. The vocation of the society’s members, who are called Vincentians, is to follow Christ through services to those in need and so bear witness to His compassionate and liberating love. Members show their commitment through person-to-person contact.

The foundation is working with the Diocesan Council of Owensboro, Kentucky to plan for and implement improved management practices for the Council. The objective is to assist the Council in more effectively serving the poor. The foundation is assisting in the following areas:

• Consult with the Diocesan Council of Owensboro in planning for and implementing a succession plan
• Review the job description for an Executive Director position that has been created for the Diocesan Council
• Assist in interviewing Executive Director candidates
• Review other governance documents and make recommendations
• Review the Council annual budget in total and make recommendations
