Today, the Sacred Heart College community, a Christian Vincentian School, joins in profound reverence and devotion as we commemorate the Feast of Saint Vincent de Paul, the Apostle of Charity. This day holds immense significance for us, as it embodies the core principles that guide our educational mission.

Saint Vincent de Paul’s life exemplified a boundless love for humanity, an unwavering commitment to serving the less fortunate, and an unbreakable connection with God. His legacy echoes through our halls and classrooms, inspiring our students, faculty, and staff to emulate his compassion, humility, and tireless dedication to others.

As a Christian Vincentian School, we are called to follow in the footsteps of Saint Vincent de Paul, to be a beacon of hope, kindness, and generosity in our community. Today, we renew our commitment to instill these values in our students, fostering a spirit of empathy and service that extends far beyond our campus.

The Feast of Saint Vincent de Paul is a reminder that our mission is not merely academic but profoundly rooted in faith and service. It is a day of reflection, a time to rekindle the flame of charity in our hearts, and a moment to reaffirm our dedication to the Vincentian tradition of compassion and love for our neighbors.

Let us offer our prayers with the words of his heart:

“𝘖 𝘚𝘢𝘷𝘪𝘰𝘳, 𝘩𝘰𝘸 𝘩𝘢𝘱𝘱𝘺 𝘐 𝘢𝘮 𝘵𝘰 𝘣𝘦 𝘪𝘯 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦 𝘰𝘧 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘪𝘯𝘨 𝘮𝘺 𝘯𝘦𝘪𝘨𝘩𝘣𝘰𝘳! 𝘎𝘳𝘢𝘯𝘵 𝘮𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘦 𝘨𝘳𝘢𝘤𝘦 𝘵𝘰 𝘢𝘤𝘬𝘯𝘰𝘸𝘭𝘦𝘥𝘨𝘦 𝘮𝘺 𝘨𝘰𝘰𝘥 𝘧𝘰𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘯𝘦, 𝘵𝘰 𝘭𝘰𝘷𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘣𝘭𝘦𝘴𝘴𝘦𝘥 𝘴𝘵𝘢𝘵𝘦, 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘵𝘰 𝘦𝘯𝘴𝘶𝘳𝘦 𝘵𝘩𝘢𝘵 𝘵𝘩𝘪𝘴 𝘷𝘪𝘳𝘵𝘶𝘦 𝘮𝘢𝘺 𝘣𝘦 𝘳𝘦𝘷𝘦𝘢𝘭𝘦𝘥 𝘯𝘰𝘸, 𝘵𝘰𝘮𝘰𝘳𝘳𝘰𝘸 𝘢𝘯𝘥 𝘢𝘭𝘸𝘢𝘺𝘴. 𝘈𝘮𝘦𝘯!”

As we celebrate this significant day, let us carry forward the legacy of Saint Vincent de Paul, spreading his message of love and charity wherever we go. Together, as a community, we honor this Apostle of Charity and pray for his intercession in guiding us to be beacons of light, hope, and love in the world.
