Society of St Vincent De Paul Feast Day (Church of Risen Christ)

The feast day of Saint Vincent de Paul has been recognized for two centuries. The feast day of Saint Vincent de Paul is actually on September 27, which is the date of the death of Vincent de Paul. Our Church celebrates it two weeks before with our FINs to commemorate his many contributions during his lifetime.
 













The day started at 4pm. At the charity corner, the caterers were preparing the food, while the servers were preparing the tables in the church hall. Vincentians were also helping to set up the tables and chairs, and plan the events on stage. 







The dinner started at 7.30pm. The hall was completely filled up and the dishes were being served to the FINs.Our own band put up some songs for the FINs.

 We were also privileged to have the participation of a  Filipino group that performed songs and dances. There were loud applause after the performances and the FINs were also busy chatting with each other.




 The dinner ended at 9.30pm. Some FINs stayed back to help the Vincentians clear up the place. I think everyone enjoyed the variety of food and events that night.
