St. Vincent de Paul Society keeps marching forward amid pandemic difficulties St. Vincent de Paul Society keeps marching forward amid pandemic difficulties By Quinton Amundson, The Catholic Register March 12, 2021
A year into the COVID pandemic and the Vincentian resiliency has not withered as Canadian chapters of the St. Vincent de Paul Society continue to help people in need.
The SSVP conference at Nativity of Our Lord Roman Catholic Church in Etobicoke, Ont., is an example as the parish Vincentians hosted another Bundle Up weekend March 6-7 in the parish parking lot to provide support for approximately 120 families in the community. Gently-used clothing, shoes and boots, bedding, drapes, towels, new toys and monetary donations were among the items organizers sought from parishioners at this drop-off donation event.
