Description: April 26 marks 80 years of faith in action in Phoenix. From humble parish beginnings, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul has grown into a ministry serving thousands of neighbors in need across Central and Northern Arizona, guided by compassion, dignity, and personal encounter.

The Ministry / “Vinistry” Fair, celebrating 80 years of Vincentian service, highlights not only what Vincentians do, but who they are—a community of faith inspired by St. Vincent de Paul and committed to serving Christ in the poor. The fair will feature informational booths, opportunities to meet Vincentians, and ways to learn how to support or become involved in this longstanding Catholic ministry of charity.

All are welcome.
