  • St. Vincent de Paul
    St. Vincent de Paul will hold their annual collection next weekend 11th & 12th December. The Prosperous Conference of S.V.P. visit people in need each week. Unfortunately for many people it can just take one small problem to tip someone into crisis and poverty. It can be an unexpected illness or unexpected bill – but a little help at the right time can stop a domino effect leading to a family experiencing prolonged hardship. Last year the conference helped with school and college fees along with providing heat and food for families. By supporting our appeal you can help a family through this winter and help them get back on their feet. Thank you for your support – without your help we simply would not be able to support our fellow parishioners. We have also placed St Vincent de Paul collection boxes in our local Post Office and Londis Supermarket, here in Prosperous.
