A better society through Generosity

People find inspiration at different points in their lives. Some decide that generosity is the path to fulfilment — the noble cause of giving back what they receive from society. Ross and Cristina, who have been conference members of St. Vincent De Paul (SVDP) for the past five months, are doing precisely that.

Vincentian Remembered

Gil Lescher was one of City Conferences longest serving members. A Vincentian since the 1950’s, we remember Gil and her contribution to her community through her words of reflection before passing in late 2018.

"When I think back now on it all, the many wonderful people I have met (including our St Vincent de Paul members), I have no regrets at all. Sometimes it wasn’t easy but it has been all so worthwhile.”
