He studied humanities in Dax, theology in Toulouse, and was ordained a priest in 1600. In 1605, on his way back from Marseille, he was captured by Turkish pirates, taken to Tunis, and sold into slavery. His second master was a French apostate, but after converting his master to Christianity, he and his master escaped by boat in 1607 and arrived in Avignon, France. Vincent, who was able to return to France, had a great inner conversion there and decided to devote his life to the salvation of the poor. In 1625, he founded the "Congregation of the Mission (Vincentian Fathers)," and while devoting himself to prayer and meditation, he helped the poor and prisoners and trained priests. In 1633, with the cooperation of Louise de Marillac, he founded the "Daughters of Charity," further developing charitable activities. Vincent, who lived in neighborly love, became the patron of charitable organizations and was later canonized.
