St. Vincent de Paul Center was
established in 2001 with the goal of
serving the people in the parish of
Battambang.  In response to the identified needs of the people and the priorities expressed by the Diocese, three major services were developed:

1. Social Services,
2. Pastoral Program and
3. Health Program.

After five (5) years of operation, the St. Vincent de Paul Center, Battambang, Cambodia has slowly developed its services.  The staffs have deeper understanding of their roles as lay mission partners of the Daughters of Charity.  They have grown a lot in their sense of responsibility and commitment.  They have clearer and broader view of realities of the children, of the society and the Church and therefore they are eady for more creative and dynamic response to the calls of the Church.
