Home Visit 101 and 201
Home Visit 101:
Home Visit 101, a foundational offering open to all Vincentians, builds on the brief home visit section in the Ozanam Orientation. This introductory session, created specifically for St. Louis area Vincentians, covers home visit basics, the spirituality of the home visit, the why of the home visit, the how of the home visit, and self-care.
Home Visit 201:
Introduced in 2020, Home Visit 201 builds on Home Visit 101. After a brief 101 review, 201 included more in-depth information on the home visit approach, a home visit simulation, and details about Council programs and paperwork. It is highly recommended that Vincentians attend the Home Visit 101 first.

Spiritual Advisor Formation
The Spiritual Advisor within the Society of St. Vincent de Paul holds a key role in helping Vincentians to achieve their primary purpose within the Society: growth in holiness.
From the beginning, the Spiritual Advisor has assumed
responsibility for the spiritual growth and development of
each member as well as the group as a whole (from Spiritual Advisor Handbook).
Spiritual Advisor Formation events are opportunities for Spiritual Advisors to network, grow in their vocation, and contribute to the building up of the vocation of Vincentians and the spiritual life of Conferences.
