On November 16 this year, the SSVP will participate in the ninth national campaign for the World Day of the Poor (WPD).
The theme this year is “You are my hope” (cf. Ps 71:5). Pope Leo’s text:
For the SSVP, this yearly event represents a great opportunity:
- To educate the public about the needs of those we help in our
- communities.
- To increase the visibility of the SSVP’s mission and activities.
- To recruit new Vincentians, and
- To collect funds and/or non-perishable goods to ensure the long-term
- viability of our good works on behalf of our neighbours in need.
You will find on this page the tools that you may use as is, or adapt according to your conference, store, or outlet needs.
