The St. Vincent de Paul Society
The St. Vincent de Paul Society was founded in 1839 by a 19 year old Catholic student called Fredric Ozanam. The society is dedicated to helping those in poverty and need by providing practical assistance, irrespective of faith, ethnicity or gender.
St Vincent de Paul was a priest who dedicated himself to serve the poor. He spent his life helping those in need and was known for his compassion, humility and generosity. Vincent's life is a great reminder for us all, to find ways to help those around us.

Mini Vinnie Commissioning Service
Our Mini Vinnies were comissioned into their roles during our school assembly this morning. They made a pledge to make a difference over the next year. At this ceremony the children are welcomed into our group and recognised for wanting to make a difference. I'm sure these wonderful children will do just that.
Our Mini Vinnie Pledge
As a member of the Mini Vinnies, I promise to make a difference by:
Caring for, respecting and loving myself.
Strenthening my friendship with Jesus by talking to him each day and talking to other about him.
Caring for others in my school and community by being a friend to those who are alone, in need or in trouble.
Making my family happy by my help, respect and showing kindness and consideration.
Caring for and enjoying God's world.
Treating others the way I would like them to treat me.
The Mini Vinnie Song
During our comissioning service we ended with the Mini Vinnie song.....
Sharing our time with people in need
Sick to care for or hungry to feed
Seeing the face of Jesus in all
Now we must follow as we hear his call.
Mini Vinnies (clap clap clap)

You know (clap clap clap)

will always be there!
“We walk in the footsteps of Jesus so that we may have life in all its fullness”
