The President General, José Ramón Díaz-Torremocha, deeply moved by the tragedy that occurred last Saturday 27 February 2010, sent a message of solidarity in the name of the Council General to the Vincentians of Chile, and promised prayers for all those affected.
The members of the Council General will be ready to provide the Superior Council of Chile with help in any way they can.
We have received the following news from our Territorial Vice President, Renato de Lima, on the situation in Chile.
The National President of SSVP Chile, Francisco Velasco, has had no reports of any injuries or deaths among Vincentians. Nor are there any reported deaths or injuries among those helped by Vincentian Conferences (families, or old people) so far. The Superior Council will produce a register showing the situation of our families, in order to see what happens. An old people’s home in the town of TALCA was damaged or partly destroyed, but none of the old people was injured, as they were all evacuated beforehand.
The Zone Coordinator, Régulo Valenzuela Matte, is well, as are Francisco Velasco and the other officers of the Chilean SSVP Superior Council.
Régulo Valenzuela Matte sent us this: "Dear Brother José Ramón: Many thanks for your concern at these difficult times. We are trying to assemble a report on the position of those helped by the Society, very difficult because of problems with communications. Thank you so much for your prayers, they give us strength and consolation. Once more, our thanks”.
Council General has opened an account for contributions for Chile. Members around the world can make donations to help our brothers and sisters in Chile.
