Orientation Session - St. Margaret of Scotland Church, March 8and St. Thomas More, March 20, 2007

 

113 new Vincentians from all parts of the GTA came together for their Orientation session (a requirement of membership for all new members) on March 8 in the west end and March 20 in the east end.  A team of Vincentians and staff members provided the new members with some information about some of the key figures in the Society's founding and long, proud history.  The presentations also gave participants a familiarity with all of our 22 Special Works programs and the structure of the Society.

 

This orientation session is designed to complement the hands-on training new members receive at their conference, giving them a good sense of the breadth and depth of the works of the Society.  The session also included a presentation on the spirit of the Rule, the document that guides and inspires our Vincentian work.
