The Sisters of Christian Charity had assumed the administration of the orphanage in 1888 after it had been under the direction of the Sisters of St. Joseph for almost 40 years. The Home's Centennial celebration was marked by a performance by the children of the Home at the Opera House of Kiel Auditorium in downtown St. Louis (see photo at top right below). The following Sunday, the German St. Vincent Orphan Society held a Solemn High Mass at St. Mary of Victories Church on South Third Street, where the Society had been founded in 1850.
As the Sesquicentennial Celebration of St. Vincent Home was observed in the year 2000, the Home received greetings and congratulations from a spectrum of well-wishers for its century and a half of dedication in providing love and care to needy children.
