SUPER HERO JUSTICE DAY - Monday 11 November 2019

MORE ABOUT ST VINCENT DE PAUL

The St Vincent de Paul Society’s members and volunteers reach out to the most vulnerable in our community through our Conferences, Special Works and Vinnies shops.

Members and volunteers assist people in need and do not discriminate against cultural, religious or political beliefs.

The Society aspires to be recognised as a caring Catholic charity offering “a hand up” to people in need. We do this by respecting their dignity, sharing our hope, and encouraging them to take control of their own destiny.

As Christmas approaches, our goal is to provide patrons with hampers to assist with Christmas preparations and Christmas Day.

Each year St Vincent de Paul Homelessness Coordination Services and the Illawarra/Shoalhaven Vinnies Van, based at 12-16 Miller St, Coniston, provides over 240 hampers filled with pantry items, Christmas goodies, small toys and other items.

So this year, our St Brigid’s community will be contributing to two hamper drives.

The first one, for the Vinnies Van will take place next week. I have indicated in the table below the items that each grade will need to bring in, however any donation will be appreciated.

The second fundraiser will take place in Week 7 and this will be for our local conference of St Vincent de Paul. More information in the next Brigid Bulletin.

I understand that this is a big ask at this time of the year, but we are the fortunate ones!

“Whoever is kind to the poor lends to the LORD, and he will reward them for what they have done.”  Proverbs 19:17
