World Day Of The Poor

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul (SSVP) in Canada is using November 13 2022, which Pope Francis declared The World Day of the Poor, as a day in which we are encouraged to consider those less fortunate than ourselves and to give generously what we can.

Event Details

The Sixth World Day of the Poor will be observed on 13 November 2022. This year’s theme “For your sakes Christ became poor” is a summons to responsibility and commitment as men and women who are part of our one human family, as we can read in Pope Francis’ text:

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is in a perfect position to promote the World Day of the Poor as part of its work to assist persons in need. That special day is also a great opportunity for the Society to:

increase the visibility of SSVP work and activities;
make known the mission of the SSVP;
foster closer ties between Vincentians and parishioners during Eucharistic celebrations, to live the message of the Gospel together by serving Christ through the poor with love, respect, justice and joy;
recruit new members;
conduct campaigns to raise funds or collect non-perishable food items in support of Vincentian work.
