Members gathering at Brunches Cafe

 

Day of Recollection

 We had our members day of recollection on. 

[Session 1] The spirituality of suffering: If God is Love, why does God allow people to suffer?

[Session 2] How can we live out the Vincentian virtues and spirituality in the context of modern Singapore and in our lives?    

We wrapped up the the day with Eucharistic Adoration followed by lunch.

Lohei and farewell to Alyssa!

 Was a wonderful gathering with Lohei, and we wishing Sis. Aly all the best as she leaves for her studies in New Zealand! Aly has been a committed Vincentian for many years and we thank her for your contribution to the less priviledged.

Share A Hope: SSVP Lenten Giving Project by Holy Spirit and Risen Christ

This period of Lent, SSVP Risen Christ collaborated with SSVP Holy Spirit to organise a Share A Hope project for FINs. We collated the wishes from FINs, and put them up on a padlet for parishioners of both parishes to donate towards those wishes. Wishes ranged from items such as fridges and beds to prayers, and accompaniment. We then arranged for the wishes to be fulfilled. 

We would like to thank all donors who have helped fulfill the wishes of our FINs this period of Lent!

New mattresses for FINs

Our Vincentian Bro. Joseph Fernandez, helped to arrange for donations of new mattresses to two of our FINs. These mattresses were from an anonymous donor. 

For many of our FINs, their mattresses are old, and have not been changed for a very long time. Some of them do not have mattresses, and have gotten used to sleeping on the floor. Some of them face bed bug issues too.

As Vincentians, we look into the needs of FINs and provide them with their necessities.  

Ration Day on 19 December 2020

This month, ration day was early due to the Christmas period. Vincentians helped to distribute the Care Packs given by National Council to our FINs. We also passed NTUC vouchers and educational incentives to students who have done well in their studies for the year.

Season of Joy and Giving!

Bro. Joseph Fernandez and Sis. Jacqueline helped the Christmas Deco team with Christmas decorations in the Church. The COVID-19 pandemic doesn't stop us from our celebration of this festive occasion and mood!

Ration Day!

This morning, Vincentians and some volunteers helped to distribute money and food donations from the food bank to our FINs. 

Catchup with the Youths

These youths have been a great help before COVID-19, giving the FIN's children tuition. Although it stopped since then, we are looking to restart tuition activities via Zoom. Was a good catch-up to see how everyone is doing and progressing well with life!

This morning, Vincentians and some volunteers helped to distribute NTUC vouchers, chocolates, money, masks, hand sanitisers and food donations to our FINs.
