St Vincent de Paul Members Honoured With Badges
In an informal ceremony during a weekly meeting SVP members recieved SVP badges courtesy of the St Joseph's Conference. Conference Chairman Ciaran Harty was very appreciative of the kind gift. 'We hosted Area President Mr Micheál Murphy a few weeks ago at a morning of celebration and we would like to thank him once again for this kind gift. It gives us more of a solid identity around the College.'
This presentation means that the volunteers in St Colman's will be easily recognisable to ot6her pupils in the College.
The boys are busy preparing for a fundraiser which will provide funds for the Knights Wheelchair Basketball team which are due to visit the College on Tuesday 4th December.
Pictured is SVP Chairman Ciaran Harty presenting the first ever SVP badge to fellow member Mark Curran.
The medals are inscribed with the words 'Serviens in spe' (Serve in hope.)
