Unlike fads or trendy activities\, this is not something that has faded away or is out of date.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. \nThis workshop will be held at the Council Office\, St. Mark Cabrini Center\, 31 Poplar Dr.\, Cranston\, RI 02920. \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 URL:https://svdpri.org/event/home-visitation-workshop/ LOCATION:St. Mark’s Church Park\, 31 Poplar Drive\, Cranston\, RI\, 02920\, United States CATEGORIES:Home Visitation Workshop ATTACH;FMTTYPE=: ORGANIZER;CN="Diocesan Council":MAILTO:rbrissette at svdpri.org END:VEVENT BEGIN:VEVENT DTSTART;TZID=America/New_York:20160312T133000 DTEND;TZID=America/New_York:20160312T150000 DTSTAMP:20260522T140845 CREATED:20151215T153605Z LAST-MODIFIED:20151215T153605Z UID:1102-1457789400-1457794800@svdpri.org SUMMARY:Understanding Poverty 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.
