In our charge to “do justice, love kindness, and walk humbly,” Nassau is grateful to partner with our siblings at Witherspoon Presbyterian Church. Ongoing Bending the Moral Arc small groups engage in courageous conversations on race and justice facilitated by members of the Nassau & Witherspoon Partnership Team working in partnership.

#MissionMonday – SSVP-Lebanon

Posted on by

To Serve in Hope

In late January, the Mission & Outreach Committee approved a grant to support the Society of Saint Vincent De Paul–Lebanon in their COVID relief efforts. They quickly used the funds to purchase 8 oxygen concentrators. The need in Lebanon is great. Our support will not address all the suffering, but it has helped a number of elderly community members survive the pandemic. Please join the Mission & Outreach Committee in praying for the people of Lebanon.

 

St. Vincent dePaul (website)

Founded in 1833 by a group of young laymen, the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul is a lay Catholic organization of women and men, who wished to put their faith into action. From the start, the Society has been under the patronage of Saint Vincent de Paul, a great saint, well-known for his works of charity.

The members of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul maintain the Vincentian spirit. Their vocation rests on two basic principles: continuing prayers (deepening their faith) and the meeting with Christ through the poor. These principles lead them to serve the very poorest with a deep respect, no matter where they come from, or what they believe, thus developing long-term and personal relationships.

The Society of Saint Vincent de Paul-Lebanon was founded 1860 with the main objective to provide assistance to the poorer and supply them with their most urgent needs.
