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.
