Lazarists

Lazarists, also known as the Missionaries of St. Vincent de Paul, are a Catholic religious community founded in the 17th century. They focus on serving the poor, sick, and marginalized through outreach, education, and healthcare. Their mission emphasizes compassion, social justice, and active aid, often working directly in communities to improve lives. Members take vows of poverty, chastity, and obedience, dedicating themselves to spiritual and practical support for those in need. The Lazarists aim to embody Christ’s love by addressing both spiritual and material needs, making a meaningful difference in society.
