Since 1841, it has been a tradition for the Presidents General of the Society of St. Vincent de Paul (SSVP) to publish Circular Letters, at least once a year, on topics relevant to our institution. In 2020, our President General, brother Renato Lima de Oliveira, had already published a Circular Letter on January 31st. However, due to the current circumstances caused by the Coronavirus crisis, the President considers it important to publish a second letter, of an extraordinary nature.
