Like the Catholic Church, the Society's global nature means that it recognizes the reality and the gift of diversity among its members and those it serves.
The Society actively seeks to recruit and retain volunteers without regard to race, creed (with the exception of Active members, who must be Catholic), color, gender, sexual orientation, disability, marital status, veteran status, national origin, age or physical handicap. Vincentians understand that our differences are an asset in our unified mission to grow in holiness through service to our neighbors. The Society should regularly assess whether they are welcoming places for potential Vincentians of all background.
