New Paragraph
Our Patron, Saint Vincent de Paul, lived through many difficult times but always found hope in those around him who shared his vision and were inspired by his leadership. We can be reminded more than ever of his immense and enduring legacy and how he inspired others to find the strength to keep going in the face of adversity:
"We should take as a maxim never to be surprised at current difficulties, no more than at a passing breeze, because with a little patience we shall see them disappear. Time changes everything." (Saint Vincent de Paul)
OUR PARISH SVP GROUP
Who We Are
We all know people in our neighbourhood who are lonely or vulnerable and who would benefit from a little practical help.
The SVP visit the sick and lonely and are committed to meaningful and long term befriending within our local community.
By joining the SVP and giving a little bit of your time to being compassionate to those in need, you can make a real difference to people's lives. Just 2 hours a fortnight is all it takes.
What We Do
Our parish SVP volunteer members aim to fulfil the SVP mission through offering our services to support those who need help. We are Inspired by the Gospels and seek those in need, and offer them sincere friendship. Support includes home visits, hospital visits, visits to care homes on a regular basis and if we have funds we offer additional support for provisions which include food, furniture or financial help.
Along side this, we also provide support to our international SVP communities.
