The Council General has received 19 literary works submitted by members from the following continents: 1 from Europe, 4 from Africa, 3 from Asia and 11 from America.
We congratulate all the participants and all those who have helped to organise this Contest. “The Organising Committee is impressed with the contents and presentation of the works, which are improving year after year. The Council General welcomes the interest aroused within the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul in the Thematic Year project, which aims at further delving into the work produced by each of the seven young founders. The key goal is to ensure that the knowledge shared by everyone concerning the emergence of the first Conference and the subsequent development of the Society of Saint Vincent de Paul has an impact, that the history of the founders is known, that it is spoken about, that it is of value as an example, especially for the young people who are attending Conferences today. The seven founders collectively created our Society.For this reason, with respect and consideration, we remember the legacy bequeathed to us.“, said our President General, Renato Lima
We would like to remind you that the upcoming 2020 International Thematic Year will be devoted to Félix Clavé. Those fellow members who are interested in taking part of the contest, which will be launched on February 8th, 2020, can start preparing their submissions.
