Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 19/11/2015

                                                                                                                         

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 12 visits to people in the local community.  They have provided support and companionship to the housebound, helping with shopping, and distributing grants to those in need.   

                                                       

A short discussion took place regarding the Christmas parcels for the elderly and needy families.  The Central Council minutes were also discussed and plans made for the next District Council meeting, which OLOG Conference was due to host.  Arrangements were also made for a collection to take place at all masses on 06/12/2015.

Prayers at the end of the meeting were offered for the people of France and those who had committed the atrocities in Paris.

We pray with Pope Francis, who offered his own prayers for Paris at mass and said:

, "We pray for the victims of Paris - so many of them - and we pray also for the perpetrators of such cruelty, that the Lord might change their heart."
