The Daughters of Charity of Saint Vincent de Paul is an international Catholic religious community founded by Vincent de Paul and Louise de Marillac. Based in France, it operates as a Society of Apostolic Life recognized under Church law, with members committing to serve Jesus Christ in the persons of the poor and marginalized. They live in community and sustain their mission through prayer, aiming to address both the material and spiritual dimensions of each person with humility, simplicity, and charity. The order focuses its work in places deemed socially prioritized, including hospitals, homes for troubled children, schools, day centers for the homeless, and facilities for people with dependencies or disabilities. It seeks to be available wherever there is need and to contribute according to its capacities, in collaboration with the Church and various partner groups. The organization maintains a substantial international footprint, with more than 17,000 members operating across 94 countries.
