WHO IS FREDERIC?
Bl. Frederic Ozanam
1813 - 1853
‘Yours must be a work of love, of kindness, you
must give your time, your talents, yourselves.
The poor person is a unique person of God’s
fashioning with an inalienable right to respect.
You must not be content with tiding the poor
over the poverty crisis; you must study their
condition and the injustices which brought about
such poverty, with the aim of long term
improvement.’

“Charity
teaches us that
when we visit
the poor we
gain much
more than they
do.”
Blessed Frederic Ozanam
