The Maison Mère is the international home of the Congregation of the Mission and the Vincentian Family. It has served the priests and brothers of the congregation founded by St. Vincent de Paul since 1817 and now is being readied to serve the more than 2 million members of the Vincentian Family.

This renovation aims to enable every member, individually and collectively, to better serve people living in poverty and feeling its effects most acutely.

The renovation of the Maison Mère aims to enable every member of the Vincentian Family to better serve people living in poverty who feel its effects most acutely. The Maison Mère is being renovated in stages. In addition to a fully accessible reception desk and lobby, a snazzy meeting room, and more than 76 guest rooms already renovated and in use, we are moving forward corridor by corridor. 

When the renovation is complete, we will be able to welcome so many more pilgrims who want to come here to pray and study, rest, and renew themselves to better serve the mission of St. Vincent.

The next renovation phase includes several key milestones to be completed before April 2025.
