WORLD DAY OF THE POOR

November 25, 2024

On November 17 this year, the SSVP will participate in the eighth national campaign for the World Day of the Poor (WPD).

The theme this year is “The prayer of the poor rises up to God” (cf. Sir 21:5).

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.

This year again, the national council is offering you materials that you can use as is or adapt according to your needs. You can access it on our site:
