Someone

That is

Very good, and

Inspiring. He 

Nurtured people and 

Cared for

Everyone. His love for God was

Neverending.

This person's name is Saint Vincent

de Paul

everyone considered him a legend in his time.

People loved him

And they befriended him. He

Understood people's problems and helped them. He

Loved God and everyone.

Core Values, by Denise

One of the Prayer and Witness Challenges last week was to create a Core Values table based on the core values of the St. Vincent de Paul Society. Denise made a wonderful effort with her Core Values table. Check it out below. 

It is great to see how you are applying these core values to your bubble during Lockdown Denise.

Keep up the awesome work!

Writing, by Phillip

 Yesterday Phillip chose an image and a story starter to reflect on from Pobble. He asked me to share his reflection questions on our blog. 

I hope Phillip continues the story because I am keen to find out what happens next! 

Here is Phillip's task. 

Acrostic Poem about St. Vincent de Paul, by Preston

The theme for this week’s prayer and witness challenge is the St Vincent de Paul Society. On the Catholic Diocese of Christchurch’s Facebook page the needs of the vulnerable in our community were highlighted, so learning a little about St Vincent de Paul and the work of the Society seems appropriate this week.

Here is an Acrostic Poem that Preston completed today. Keep up the great work Preston!

This week’s challenge - Each day ask if there is one item of non-perishable food that you can place in a box, ready to donate to Vinnies at school after lockdown has finished.

RE Post by Kylie

 

Thank You SVDP Society!

 Hello everyone! I hope you are all doing very well and are staying safe. For RE today we learned more about St Vincent de Paul, but this time it's about the St. Vincent de Paul Society. For example the Young Vinnies. Young Vinnies are a big part of that society and everyone in it as well. For our activity today, what we had to do was make an email and send it to the St Vincent de Paul Society here in Christchurch and thank them for everything they do for a lot of people and write down at least one thing that we could do to help them out for example: donating, praying, volunteering, etc. But before that, we had to also fill in some boxes and put pictures in them of what the Svdp society does, so if it says the Young Vinnies visit rest homes then you would put a picture of that

Something I enjoyed was getting to write the email to them cause I really do appreciate everything that they do for everyone.

Here is the email that I sent:

If you would like to you can also email them and thank them as well, here is their email admin@svdpchch.co.nz (this is the Christchurch one).

Hope you enjoyed it and stay safe!

Writing by Greer

This piece of writing was inspired by a photo of a rugby team taken in 1942. I hope you enjoy it. Please leave your feedback in the comments section.

She sits quietly scanning over the picture again and again and again searching for answers.

It was April 2nd, 1942.

The Britain team had just won their second game in the rugby nationals.

Tears of joy streamed down some men's faces, others smiling with glee.

The next few days were spent celebrating and catching up with friends and family. Until 3 days later the happy tears turned into grief and disbelief. 

James Triumph was found dead in the woods behind his house, people say he slipped and hit his head on a rock, but I, Casey Robin believe this was no accident and this was a murder.

It has now been 20 years since James' death and things have never been the same.

I want to uncover the case of James Triumph and serve justice to his family and friends so I took the only evidence I could get my hands on.

This was taken the morning before James died, the day they had a last get-together.
