From 1991, the facility has included the Marienhausen children's and youth at the former Marienhausen monastery [de], which now offers inpatient residential groups, day groups, youth residential groups and assisted living. The former monastery church, Marienkirche, was restored from 2010 to 2014; inhabitants of the institution were included for the design of artwork.[1][2]

Caspar Söling has been director of the St. Vincenzstift from June 2006. The parish of the foundation is part of Heilig Kreuz, Geisenheim. Franz Kamphaus, the former bishop of Limburg until February 2007, was priest at the foundation after his retirement until his death in 2024. From 2010 Dagmar Bickmann took care of spiritual needs, and in 2023 Benjamin Rinkart followed as priest.[2]
