The International Formation Centers (CIF) is a work of the Congregation of the Mission established by the Superior General with his council to offer programs of ongoing Vincentian formation for members of the Congregation of the Mission. It is developed primarily for members of the Congregation of the Mission, but members of other groups sharing in the Vincentian charism are welcome. CIF has its home at the Maison-Mère of the Congregation of the Mission in Paris, where Saint Vincent spent his life in the service of the Gospel and the poor and where the body of Vincent is enshrined in the main chapel. The responsibility for CIF rests with the Superior General. The team consists of one director P. Hugh F. O’Donnell, and assistant directors P. Juan Julián Diáz Catalán, who are members of the Congregation of the Mission.
