IN THE SPIRIT OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL, THE MISSION OF THE COLORADO VINCENTIAN VOLUNTEERS IS TO INVITE YOUNG ADULTS INTO A PROCESS OF TRANSFORMATION THROUGH COMPANIONSHIP WITH PEOPLE WHO ARE LIVING IN POVERTY AND ARE MARGINALIZED.
We are a community of faith and action that responds to the Gospel call in the spirit of St. Vincent de Paul. We are young adults, ages 21-30, who serve the elderly, homeless, developmentally disabled, troubled youth and those who are living in poverty. Our year-long program offers an opportunity for spiritual, emotional, professional growth, and a way of discerning and living one’s Christian vocation.
