Become an Ozanam Impact Circle Annual PartnerThe Ozanam Impact Circle is named in honor of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam, who helped establish the Society of St. Vincent de Paul in Paris in 1833. Ozanam and his fellow university students were challenged to demonstrate their Catholic faith through action. Guided by Blessed Rosalie Rendu, they began visiting people in their homes and providing practical assistance, including delivering firewood to families in need. Their example created a worldwide tradition of personal service rooted in compassion, dignity, and respect.Today, the Society of St. Vincent de Paul of Chicago continues this legacy by helping neighbors facing hunger, housing instability, financial hardship, and other urgent needs. Through a network of local Vincentian volunteers, we provide food, clothing, household essentials, emergency assistance, and the reassurance that no neighbor has to face a difficult time alone.Ozanam Impact Circle Annual Partners make a year-long commitment that provides dependable support for this mission.
