The charism of the SCV is to serve the sick, the poor and the needy with a compassionate heart as exemplified in the life of St. Vincent de Paul who believed that merciful love conquers the world. The SCV have the following Vision "Jesus, the Evangelizer of the poor" as a supreme value in their lives, and see themselves propagating the Kingdom of God by devoting themselves through the works of Christian Charity. "In serving the poor you are doing what the Son of God did while He was on this earth," St. Vincent de Paul.
SCV have the expertise in liturgy, spiritual accompaniment and styles of prayer, counseling, adult education, sacramental preparation, etc, for Sisters are well-trained and multi-skilled, and work ecumenically very effectively.
