“Charity
is the cement which binds Communities
to God
and persons
to one another”
St. Vincent de Paul,
SSVP Patron
During this difficult period, should you, or anyone you know, wish the assistance of St. Peter's SSVP, please contact Fr Thomas. Do you know a neighbour who lives alone or has no support from social services? If you cannot help, consider offering the assistance of the SVVP.

About SSVP:
"Scotland’s 2000 SSVP volunteer members provide support and assistance to people across the country on a daily basis. Working in
300 groups, they assist people in need in the best way that they can.
SSVP Conferences (groups) respond to needs in their communities. This usually means visiting people in their homes, in hospital, hospices or in prison. For many people, this visit is all that they need. However, in meeting people in this way, SSVP volunteers get to know people.
They may then go on and provide help or assistance in other ways.
Since being founded in 1833 by Frederic Ozanam and a group of friends, home visits have been at the core and heart of the work of SSVP members. The SSVP always works hard to respond to changing needs and has now established 'Special Works' which provide one particular service."
