Our Lady of Grace Conference

Meeting of Thursday 10/03/2016

Since our last meeting our Vincentians have undertaken a total of 26 visits to people in the local community, providing support and companionship to the housebound, helping with shopping and giving flowers and a card to a lady who celebrated her 91^st birthday.  Members also supplied transport, kept in touch with people by phone, gave clothes to families and distributed small grants to those in need. 

After the opening prayers members discussed various matters including the district meeting, which members had attended.  A phone call was also received during the meeting informing members of the sad death of a parishioner.

The meeting ended with prayers for the repose of the soul of the parishioner who had died that day and for God to provide support and comfort for all those in the parish visited by the SVP.

Using the prayer of Saint Ignatius of Antioch we pray:

Receive in tranquillity and peace, O Lord,

The soul of your servant

Who has departed this present life to come to you.

Grant her rest and place her in the habitation of light,

The abode of blessed spirits.

Give her the life that will not age,

Good things that will not pass away,

Delights that have no end,

Through Jesus Christ our Lord.

Amen.
