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.

Legacy of Service in Santa Barbara
For today's episode, we're headed back to Santa Barbara, California. Our guest, Sergey Salushchev, is the Archivist for St. Vincent's in Santa Barbara. He joins us today to give us a background on the Daughters' westward expansion into California and the history our services there. He highlights how the Sisters were able to adapt to the changes of the time and continue to provide for those most in need in new ways throughout the years there.
