Abstract

Spirituality comes from the Latin word “spiritus” which means spirit, soul and spirit. God's spirituality and Spirit are one of the transcendent relationships that human beings intend to shape themselves according to God's ideals. Saint Vincent had an infinite awareness of the poor and set an example for the community who embraced it. The Society of Social Society Vincent is one of the communities that imitates the spirit of Saint Vincent's ministry. Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSV) is the international Christian community founded by Frederic Ozanam in Paris in 1833. The main concern of this community is to make the Church and the Catholic faith truly responsive to the conditions of society, especially the poor and neglected. This community has spread to Indonesia. SSV is now spread in various regions in Indonesia.
