Our Charity is under the Blessing of Saint Vincent of Paul and Frédéric Ozanam

incent de Paul, CM (24 April 1581 – 27 September 1660), commonly known as Saint Vincent de Paul, was an Occitan French Catholic priest who dedicated himself to serving the poor.

In 1622 Vincent was appointed a chaplain to the galleys. After working for some time in Paris among imprisoned galley slaves, he returned to be the superior of what is now known as the Congregation of the Mission, or the "Vincentians" (in France known as "Lazaristes"), which he co-founded.

These Vincentian priests, with vows of poverty, chastity, obedience, and stability, were to devote themselves entirely to the people in smaller towns and villages. Vincent was zealous in conducting retreats for clergy when the local clergy's morals were flagging. He pioneered seminary education and founded the Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul. He is the namesake of the Vincentian Family of organizations, including both religious communities he founded.

He was renowned for his compassion, humility, and generosity. Vincent was canonized in 1737 and is venerated as a saint in the Catholic Church and the Anglican Communion.



Antoine-Frédéric Ozanam  23 April 1813 – 8 September 1853 was a French literary scholar, lawyer, journalist and equal rights advocate. He founded the Conference of Charity with fellow students, later known as the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul. He was beatified by Pope John Paul II in the Cathedral of Notre Dame de Paris in 1997. His feast day is 9 September.

Ozanam "is recognized as a precursor of the Catholic Church's social doctrine, whose cultural and religious origins he wanted to know and on which he wrote books which are still in great demand." In contemporary movements, he was an earnest and conscientious advocate of Catholic democracy and of the view that the Church should adapt itself to the changed political conditions consequent to the French Revolution. He denounced the old "Throne and Altar" alliance and pleaded with the Pope to adopt more liberal positions. He advocated the separation of church and state as conducive to liberty, and he was frequently impugned by reactionaries who accused him of deserting the Church.

In his writings, he dwelt upon essential contributions of historical Christianity. He maintained that in continuing the work of the Caesars, the Catholic Church had been the most potent factor in civilizing the invading barbarians and organizing the life of the Middle Ages. He confessed that his object was to prove the contrary thesis to Edward Gibbon, and, although the aim of proving theses is perhaps not the ideal approach for a historian, Ozanam no doubt administered a healthful antidote to the prevalent notion, particularly amongst English-speaking peoples, that the Catholic Church had done far more to enslave than to elevate the human mind. His knowledge of medieval literature and his appreciative sympathy with medieval life admirably qualified him for his work, and his scholarly attainments are still highly esteemed.

Tithing and Giving





Mark 12:41-44.


“And he sat opposite the treasury and watched the people putting money into the offering box. Many rich people put in large sums. And a poor widow came and put in two small copper coins, which make a penny. And he called his disciples to him and said, “Truly, I say to you, this poor widow has put in more than all those who are contributing to the offering box. They all contributed out of their abundance, but she, out of her poverty, has put in everything she had, all she had to live on.”

All clergy are to be fully self-supporting and offer their service voluntarily without expecting a financial reward.

CL025.1.3.1.7 Clergy may also solicit a donation to perform the following services: funerals; blessings; healing ministry; baptisms/naming ceremonies and weddings etc. They shall reduce their suggested donation in the event of proven financial need. However, they will only be obliged to perform a service with their expenses, such as travel and materials, having been covered. For the funerals of babies and young children, clergy will seek to cover expenses only. All are based on the contribution web page at Eric Michel Ministries International. Members of Class A are entitled to no fees or reduced fees.


CL025.1.3.1.10 Clergy may discuss donations to specific works of the EMMI outside of the immediate concerns of their community when potential donors wish to initiate such a discussion.  A report of this discussion must be sent to the clergyperson's Bishop, who will determine whether the donation should be accepted and what conditions, if any, should attach to its acceptance.

NB: Volunteers need to pay the 21.00$ donation membership as well.
