A Tradition of Caring Since 1858
The iconic gate at the entrance to St. Vincent’s means many things to many people. For some it represents the stability of a home, and for others a safe harbor during a turbulent time. For many it represents hope and a promise, that life will change when you walk through the gate of St. Vincent’s.
No account of Santa Barbara’s history would be complete without St. Vincent’s and the innumerable contributions of the Daughters of Charity of St. Vincent de Paul. From establishing the area’s first infirmary for children, to providing low income housing for families and seniors, the Daughters of Charity significantly helped shape Santa Barbara.
