A Christmas Message for all Vincentians from the National President, Peter Keshwar
Christmas came early to many poor people who felt the warmth of human kindness in the form of much needed gifts of food and clothing.
The theme of this year’s World Day of the Poor was, “For your sakes, Christ became poor.” What a wonderful reminder to us all that we need to stop living money-centred lives and concentrate on what’s really important.
Congratulations Orange River CC on the celebration of your 60th year in action, as well as to the PE St Anthony’s Conference, which celebrated 35 years.
On 27 September we celebrated the feast of St Vincent de Paul, the French, 17th century priest whose work among the poor and marginalized inspired our movement.
New Vincentian, Emma Henry, is the great, great granddaughter of Count Alexander Wilmot, who established the first SSVP conference in Cape Town on 17 November 1856.
