St. Francis Medical Center’s Post

Feast Day of St. Vincent - St. Vincent de Paul, known throughout the world as "The Father of Charity," loved the community. He expressed his care for others by sharing meals with families and ensuring that everyone had nourishing food to eat. With every gift of food, St. Vincent included an elegant napkin, letting recipients know that they were valued and deserved the best. In honor of St. Vincent's Feast Day, our healthcare team prepared and delivered more than 500 healthy sack lunches -- with an elegant napkin -- to the students of St. Lawrence of Brindisi School and Our Lady of Victory School, and to individuals who are supported through the Friars Poor of Jesus Christ Los Angeles Downtown Skid Row Ministry. We also shared soup and bread, with an elegant napkin, together as a healthcare team. In our daily care of patients, we share the commitment to carry forward St. Vincent's mission of care and his expression of kindness and respect for all those we serve.
