We are very pleased to present the book, Fundraising Strategies Stories from the Field Inspired by St. Vincent de Paul, and this accompanying blog. We hope both benefit you in doing the work you do to assist others in need.

The authors lift up the transparency and simplicity expected in Vincentian relationships with the poor, those who serve, and those who donate; honoring the dignity of each and recognizing their particular individual needs for integrity in relationship.

In a brief article, "Mr. Vincent," Dr. Murphy connects the extraordinary leadership and management genius of Saint Vincent de Paul to the best practices of contemporary leaders.

I can’t imagine how irresistible it must have been to have St. Vincent look in you in the eyes when he was asking for help.
