Video showcases stories from our first century of service

In preparation for the Society of St. Vincent de Paul — Madison’s centennial year, several longtime Vincentian friends gathered for a historical roundtable and oral history discussion. The panelists discussed Vincentian values of zeal, humility and gentleness; shared stories of blessings and challenges; and reminisced on faithful volunteers, members and staff.
