"St Vincent de Paul has developed into one of Ireland's leading charities and I feel this shows just how important the work of Frederic Ozanam was and like your patron Edmund Rice, Frederic's concern for other people less fortunate than himself has had a great impact in our world and has inspired many others to continue with the work they started".
