For more than 400 years the Vincentian charism has served Christ in the poor. VIN-JPIC carries that mission into the work of advocacy, human rights and the integrity of creation.
The Vincentian Family is a global family founded on our primary charismatic intuition: “there is God-endowed dignity in every human story and in our planet.”
VIN-JPIC is an educative and action-oriented network of the Congregation of the Mission (CM), established to support and promote campaigns that advance human rights, peace, integral ecology and social justice. We are a coalition of Vincentian Family organisations collaborating around our ministry of advocacy — respecting our individual identities and mandates, while strengthening the impact we have together as a family.
We are also ready to publicly denounce the causes of injustice and the violation of human rights, joining our voice with those who cry out for justice and lending a voice to our planet and to the voiceless.
To be a united voice of the Vincentian Family at the United Nations and in our communities — advocating for and empowering our brothers and sisters on the social and economic margins of history and society, the excluded, and our wounded Mother Earth. We strengthen the collective impact of our advocacy while respecting each member's identity and mandate.
A world where the integral development of the human person is safeguarded — a world of sustainable livelihoods, economic justice, social inclusion and environmental protection, especially for the most vulnerable and excluded, so that the dignity of each person is respected and poverty is brought to an end.
