The term "Lazarists" refers to members of the Congregation of the Mission, a Roman Catholic religious community founded in 1625 by Saint Vincent de Paul. The congregation is dedicated to the evangelization of the poor and the formation of clergy. They are often involved in missionary work and education, focusing on serving marginalized communities. Lazarists are also known for their commitment to social justice and pastoral care. They operate in various countries, providing spiritual guidance and support to those in need. Their name is derived from Lazarus, a biblical figure who was raised from the dead, symbolizing their mission to bring hope and renewal to the impoverished.
