In the Company of Charity
In the Company of Charity is a podcast that invites listeners into meaningful conversations about the Catholic Church, society, and service to others, all through the lens of the spirit we've received from St. Vincent de Paul, the saint of charity. Hosted by the Daughters of Charity, each episode offers thought-provoking dialogue with nonprofit leaders, spiritual thinkers, and those working on the front lines of charity and advocacy. We explore how the spirit of service can inspire real-world action and personal transformation. Whether you're seeking spiritual enrichment or a deeper understanding of charitable work, you'll find companionship and insight here.
