Growing in Faith Together Mini Vinnies

This year we are called the GIFT Mini Vinnies! We are excited about our roles and how we can help those in our community and beyond! 

The Mini Vinnies are mini St. Vincent de Paul’s.

Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms. Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities. 

We ran a bottle flipping stall at the school fete to raise money.

This term we led an assembly asking the children which world gift they would like to raise money for. We pitched 3 ideas and they voted for buying a toilet for a community in the DR Congo! 

Our CAFOD bake sale was a HUGE success!

We set ourselves a target of raising £100 for a CAFOD world gift from our Adopt a Pet stall. We managed it!

We led prayer reflections in each class with the travelling crib from the parish.
