A nearly 200 year old organization of lay Catholics dedicated to serving the poor is holding its annual meetings in Rome. The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul meetings this week included the election of a new leader. He is set to be installed in September in France on the feast of the society’s founder. The group began in 1833. They follow the call to serve the poor, the suffering and deprived. The outgoing general president of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul, Renato Lima de Oliveira, joins to share what was on the agenda of the meeting and also tells us about the new leader. Lima de Oliveira discusses what some of the projects are run by the Vincentians around the world. As his time leading the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul winds down, Lima de Oliveira fills us in on some of his favorite memories leading the organization.
