VINCENTIAN STUDIES COURSE
BOQUERON, CHIRIQUI, PANA
JOHN P. PRAGER, C.M. 1995
III. THE WORKS AND ACTIVITIES OF ST. VINCENT DE PAUL
Note: The Goal of this section is to allow the novices
to understand the way the charism was manifested through
the primitive works. One way of presenting the material
is to have the students research and give class
presentations on the works and activities of St. Vincent.
1.THE POPULAR MISSIONS

Siècle, (Doc du travail, n.d.).

Zedde, I., "Evangelization of the Poor according to St. Vincent," in
The Evangelizer of the Poor: St. Vincent de Paul, (Manila: Adamson
Univ., l985), p. 81-98.
POINTS OF EMPHASIS:
-The popular missions were a response to a situation in which the majority
of French peasants were not evangelized. They were a means and not an
end.
-The emphasis was on missions to the poor not missions per se.
-Vincent attributed their success to:
i. catechesis
ii. the "Little Method" of preaching:
Nature(What is it?)
Motives(Why should I do it?)
Means (How can I do it?)

Roche, M., St. Vincent De Paul and the Formation ofClerics,
(Fribourg, l964).
POINTS OF EMPHASIS:
-Vincent saw that without good priests to continue the work the missions
would not be successful. This was especially true because the only
recognized pastoral
agents were priests.
-They began small with short retreats and crash courses in pastoral
duties. Little by little, the retreats were expanded into a longer program.
-The emphasis in the Vincentian seminaries was always on spiritual-pastoral
aspects. The goal was to form pastors for the poor.
-To support the clergy the Tuesday Conferences were begun. This was
a meeting of priests that came together for prayer and discussion.
