What Particular Council of St Vincent de Paul of Baton Rouge Louisiana does
Mission
Inspired by gospel values, the society of st. Vincent de paul, a catholic lay organization, leads women and men to join together to grow spiritually by offering person-to-person service to the needy and suffering in the tradition of its founder, blessed frederic ozanam, and patron, st. Vincent de paul. As a reflection of the whole family of god, members, who are known as vincentians, are drawn from every ethnic and cultural background, age, group, and economic level. Vincentians are united in an international society of charity by their spirit of poverty, humility and sharing, which is nourished by prayer and reflection, mutually supportive gatherings, and adherence to a basic rule. Organized locally, vincentians witness god's love by embracing all works of charity and justice. The society collaborates with other people of goodwill in relieving need and addressing its causes, making no distinction in those served, because in them vincentians see the face of christ.

The organization over time

Balance sheet
Total assets and total liabilities at each year end, in dollars. The largest one-year move in total assets was 2019 to 2020, from $7.5M to $12M (+57%).
