Our Lady of Grace Conference


Meeting of Thursday 23/06/2016 




Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 17 visits to people in the local community, providing support and companionship to the housebound and those in care homes.  Members have also provided transport, helped with shopping, paid bills and issued a grant to a family in need.



Opening prayers included a reading taken from the Columban Missionaries’ newsletter.   The members then discussed visits made, the results of the SVP collection and the District Council meeting before moving onto a discussion regarding holiday grants to families in need.



The meeting ended with prayers for the sick and housebound and all who had asked for members to pray for them. 



Lord Jesus,

We thank you for the good things we share with our friends and families – for love and friendship, food and shelter, happiness and laughter.

With your help make us ready to extend our love and friendship to others especially the sick and housebound, the lonely and those who need a friend’s helping hand. 

Show us what we can do to help them, and teach us to be good neighbours.
