Join Meet Me at the Mission & Vincentians in Action at the Ozanam Café - a weekly space for community, reflection and Vincentian connection. Frederic Ozanam [do we need to describe something about him here – a beloved Vincentian family leader?]During his formative years as a student, Frederic spent a lot of time in French cafes asking the big questions of life. These conversations equipped him to become an agent of change and a beloved Vincentian family leader.
This quarter, live Frederic’s legacy. Join the Meet Me at the Mission VIA community for connection, laughter, and meaningful conversation. Explore ways our Vincentian legacy can keep us well and whole in difficult times.
You can earn Meet Me at the Mission Pillars through attending the event.
