NOTE: National Council Guidelines require Vincentians to attend an Ozanam Orientation within one year of joining the Society. It is highly recommended that Vincentians participate in Ozanam Orientation every few years to renew and deepen understand of the Vincentian vocation.
The District Council Board and staff acknowledge that longer that preferable time has past since the last time an Ozanam Orientation was offered. For this reason, in the case that we have a large response, preference will be given to those Vincentian who have never had the opportunity to attend an Ozanam Orientation. The District Council is committed to providing Ozanam orientation regularly based on the need communicated by our conferences.
