Today, there was a launch assembly for the children to apply to become Mini Vinnies with guest speaker, Mary Rooke.

Mini Vinnies are 7 to 11 year olds based in schools and parishes across England and Wales, and in several other countries across the world. They come together to form a part of the St. Vincent de Paul Society in England and Wales, a voluntary organisation dedicated to tackling poverty in all its forms.

Mini Vinnies meet to pray, discuss and support however they can to help make a difference in their communities.

The children were encouraged to apply to become a Mini Vinnie and they will meet regularly to discuss projects they want to become involved in to make our school, community and world a better place.
