Vincentian Values
The Depaul Group began in the UK in 1989 at the initiative of the late Cardinal Basil Hume, as a response to the needs of the growing numbers of homeless people on the streets of London.
Depaul International and its subsidiary international charities owe their inspiration and values to the life and works of Vincent de Paul, a major social reformer in 17th century France. Known as the Saint of Charity, he revolutionized outreach to poor and disenfranchised people.
Vincentian values, which were at the core of Depaul’s foundation, continue to be at the heart of Depaul International. They include a commitment to reach out to the poorest of the poor, to focus on action rather than words, to do what we say we will do, and to be innovative in our approach.
