350 Lives - get involved and make a difference...
Dear Friends of the Vincentian Family,
At 5pm in Rome on 25th September the 350th Jubilee Year commemorating the deaths of St Vincent de Paul and St Louise de Marillac was launched.
In the coming year there will be thousands of celebratory events taking place worldwide and this is wonderful. But the year must be a good one for poor people too otherwise all our efforts will fall short of what Vincent & Louise expect of us.
Here in Britain members of the Vincentian Family accompany and serve literally thousands of vulnerable people and, in this Jubilee Year, we want to help even more people if we can.
HOW CAN WE DO THIS? THE 350 LIVES PROJECT created by the 350 Vincentian Family Planning Group
The 350th Vincentian Family Planning Group is asking you to do one of two things:
1. Identify people known to you who could benefit from the help of the wider Vincentian Family. Download and fill in the BENEFICIARIES form below and return it to VMP Office. We will try and find someone in the Family who can respond and put you in touch with them
OR
2. Think of what you or your Branch of the Family could offer a vulnerable person (s). Download and fill in the OPPORTUNITIES form below and return it to the VMP Office. We will then try to put you in touch with another branch of the Family which could make use of your offer.

The VMP is acting as a "brokering agency" on behalf of the Family for this project and will respect any data protection, confidentiality issues which arise.
