The Record Spring 2026 issue explores the theme 'Renewal & Reflection', inviting Vincentians to look back with gratitude, recognise the people and values that have shaped our Society, and look ahead with renewed purpose. In this issue, Vice President – Youth, Ashley Carvalho reflects on the remarkably young age of our founder Blessed Frederic Ozanam, who was just 20 when he set about establishing the Society with a small group of likeminded friends. Spiritual Adviser Sister Therese shares a message of reflection and encouragement, while our National President, Mark Gaetani, and our CEO, Toby oConnor, provide updates on the Society's continuing Good Works and evolution over recent months. You'll also find advance notice of the election of the next National President (page 7), to be held on 7 November; a tribute to our much-loved Overseas Partnerships Program Director, Tricia Wilden, who died suddenly in August; an update on the Society's advocacy policies and activities; and news from Vincentians across Australia, along with reports from the Oceania region and the international General Assembly in Lisbon.
