Society of Saint Vincent De Paul
build a close and active Catholic community in SJI .
The service groups also jointly organised a visit to the Surya Home for the aged where they were briefed on how to interact and serve the elderly residents . Our new members spent time with the residents and helped to feed them during meal time . The experience opened their minds to ageing , one of the realities of life and gave them insight into how they can better serve the elderly .
A post-camp activity was conducted to provide an avenue for both new and old members to take action and apply what they had learnt about service to the community . Prepared with gloves and cleaning equipment , they mopped and dusted the one-room flats of elderly residents in Bedok . The activity was fulfilling and once again raised awareness of the less fortunate in our midst .
Fund raising activities Our society has been constantly involved in raising funds for our previously adopted home , St Theresa ’ s Home . At major school events including cross country meets and cultural performances , members have sold refreshments in aid of our beneficiary . This year , SSVP has raised a total of $ 5693.80 .
