'''Saint Vincent de Paul''' (born 24 April 1581, died 27 September 1660) was a [[Saints|French saint]], priest, and founder, revered for his charity and service to the poor. Born in Pouy (now Saint-Vincent-de-Paul), Gascony, [[France]], to Jean de Paul and Bertrande de Moras, he was ordained in 1600 and later served as a chaplain to the wealthy, using his influence to fund charitable works. Captured by pirates in 1605 and enslaved in Tunis, he escaped and dedicated his life to the marginalized, founding the Congregation of the Mission (Vincentians) in 1625 and co-founding the Daughters of Charity with Louise de Marillac in 1633. Beatified on 13 August 1729 by Pope Benedict XIII, he was canonized on 16 June 1737 by Pope Clement XII. His relics are venerated at the Vincentian Motherhouse in Paris, and he is honored in the [[Roman Catholic Church|Catholic]] and [[Orthodox Church|Orthodox]] traditions.<ref name="web0">https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Vincent_de_Paul</ref><ref name="web2">https://www.catholic.org/saints/saint.php?saint_id=326</ref><ref name="web5">https://www.vaticannews.va/en/saints/09/27/st--vincent-de-paul--priest--founder-of-the-congregation-of-the-mission.html</ref> | |||
