In our weekly meeting this evening, we had a visit from
Father Eugene Vaz, and Sis. Magdalene from National Council. Father Vaz is the
spiritual director of our society. Fr Vaz feels that, although FINs come to us
seeking for financial aid, we should look beyond the financial aid and food,
and understand if there are other areas of their life that need help. We can
help them explore other agencies
to help them, eg. SSOs, education, medical, family services etc. We should also
seek to work with other organizations within the church to assist them, for eg.
sick ministry. Father Vaz also explained that there are parishioners that might be ready to help, eg.
tuition teachers who standby for teaching assistance.
