SUMMARY:Home Visitation Workshop
DESCRIPTION:Home visitation has been emphasized as the primary method of our works of charity since our Society was founded in 1833. Unlike fads or trendy activities\, this is not something that has faded away or is out of date. It has been proven over and over again that this is the best way to learn about those whom we are serving and also the best way to be a servant to the poor. It’s a primary source of our spiritual satisfaction to go to the home rather than ask them to come to us. \n“The heart of the Vincentian Ministry is the visitation of the poor in their home…whether that is an ordinary dwelling place \, a hospital\, a nursing home\, a hostel\, a prison or even the street.” – National Council of Australia \nIn this 2-hour workshop\, Regional Formation Director Rita St. Pierre will walk us through the reasons we conduct home visits\, how to conduct a successful home visit\, dangers and pitfalls to be avoided\, following up on a home visit\, and much more. \nThis event qualifies as an “Advanced Orientation” topic for experienced Vincentians and satisfies the three-year refresher requirement. \n  \nREGISTRATION FOR THIS EVENT IS NOW  CLOSED.

SUMMARY:Understanding Poverty Seminar
DESCRIPTION:To better follow our Vincentian vocation\, it is crucial that we learn to speak and understand the “language of poverty” and the “hidden rules” of class. This seminar is a fascinating treatment of a subject that we deal with daily\, yet we have very little understanding of. Sometime during this seminar\, we will all have an “AHA moment” in which we will begin to understand why we\, the middle class\, act and speak as we do and why those in poverty act and speak as they do. This epiphany will make us all better Vincentians and better people. \nThis seminar will be presented by our Vice-President for Systemic Change\, Paul Fisette. It is recommended that attendees acquire and read the book\, “Bridges Out of Poverty” prior to the seminar\, but this is not required. If you choose to do so\, the book can be obtained HERE. \n\n\n\n\nServing in Hope 2018\nServing in Hope 2018\n\n\n\n\n\n\n\n    First Name\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Last Name\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Email Address\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Phone\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    Your Conference\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n\n    City or Town of Your Conference\n        \n    \n    \n    \n    \n\n	\n			\n			\n				If you are human\, leave this field blank.			\n			\n		\n		\n\nSubmit
