Formation The St Vincent de Paul Society and educators worldwide share in the mission to form the whole person — mind, heart, body and spirit. It is our spiritual quest to become fully human through service to those in need. Young people are keen to bring new ideas to help alleviate suffering or deprivation or to promote human dignity and personal integrity. No work of charity is foreign to the Society which works with educators, developing leadership in young people and challenging them to be ‘other centered.’
