SYDNEY, March 27, 2005 (catholicweekly.com.au): Owen Rogers, Chief Executive Office for the St Vincent de Paul Society State Council NSW/ACT writes for The Catholic Weekly this Sunday – Jesus is raised from the tomb to a new and different life. Jesus has gone through to the other side of death; he has opened the way for us. In the St Vincent de Paul Society, we come into contact with people who are suffering and persecuted. Daily, Society people assist women who have been the subject of domestic violence, homeless people with nowhere to go and families feeling the stress and effects of poverty.
Our role in the St Vincent de Paul Society is to bring every marginalised and suffering person that we help, to believe that there is hope in the midst of crisis and compassion in the world.
We aim to walk with people through their situation and stand in solidarity with them in their suffering.
