Dear AIC volunteers, dear friends,
It is a great joy for me to send you this message on the 407th anniversary of the founding of the first Confraternity of Charity by Saint Vincent, which is at the origin of our wonderful AIC network.
Together, let us celebrate the incredible road we have traveled and ask God to rekindle in our hearts the marvelous charism that we have inherited from Saint Vincent.
May He guide us and inspire us to find the best way to bring this charism to life in the situations of poverty we encounter today. May He also teach us the kindness and humility to recognize our limitations and accept sometimes to change our ways of thinking and acting in order to better support our most vulnerable brothers and sisters.
Happy celebrations to you all!
With all my best wishes and in union of prayer for our Association,
Tayde
[Tayde de Callataÿ, AIC International President]

It is with great joy that I think of our dear St. Louise and St. Vincent rejoicing always in their vision for all those following in their footsteps to bring love to the less fortunate!
May the love and service of the Company of Charity continue to burn brightly in the lives of those cared for by daughters and sons of Vincent, Louise, Elizabeth. Peace, Love and Joy permeate our lives, spilling over in all we are and do.
