The
'Vincentian Cross' was originally designed for the Daughters of
Charity in the 1980s. However, it has since been adopted by
many Vincentian Priests and Brothers, with the entwined 'V' and 'S'
being variously interpreted as standing for St Vincent or Vincentian
Service.
Three castings of the Vincentian Cross were made by Mrs L Mimovich of
Melbourne, Australia, for Fr Gerard Wilkinson CM. Bill Irwin
assisted in the design. The one shown above can be found at De Paul House
at Marsfield. Sydney. Another hangs in
the entrance hallway of the Presbytery at St Joseph's Parish,
Malvern Vic. The third is in St
Anthony's Church, Marsfield NSW.
The three castings were commissioned in the mid 1980s.
