Abstract

This essay intends to highlight a specific trait of St. Vincent as the clergy formator. This characteristic is often downplayed and unnoticed, for Vincent is primarily known throughout history as the founder of charity works and is generally invoked as the patron of the poor. I draw exclusively on Spanish sources and my intention is to present Vincent as a man fully plunged in the work of clergy reform that bore fruit not only for the church in France in the 17th century but for many generations of priests in many parts of the world where the missionaries of st. Vincent still toil in the clergy formation today.
