Vincentian Collaborative System (VCS) is an example of an ideal made real. We are an administrative structure charged by the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth with the coordination of their ministries with the aging. Through efficient management, we make it possible to meet the goal of providing care that is compassionate, affordable, dignified, and strongly spiritual in nature.

We are "Vincentian" in values and philosophy, following in the footsteps of St. Vincent de Paul and St. Louise de Marillac.

As a priest in 17th-century France, Father Vincent de Paul chose an almost revolutionary ministry to the poor and outcast. Attracted by his holiness and commitment, Louise de Marillac, daughter of an aristocratic French family, later joined him in his work. They ministered to both body and soul with loving compassion.

Together they founded the congregation now called the Vincentian Sisters of Charity. In 2008, the Vincentian Sisters of Charity merged with the Sisters of Charity of Nazareth to ensure that the charism and mission of St. Vincent and St. Louise begun here in Western Pennsylvania in 1902 would continue to future generations.

While Catholic in tradition and philosophy, in the spirit of St. Vincent and St. Louise, we welcome all who need us. At Vincentian Collaborative System, and at each one of our sites, "Joyful Compassionate Care" is more than a slogan; it is a commitment and a
way of life.

Members of Vincentian Collaborative System welcome all who need us without regard to race, color, gender, religious preference, or national origin.
