Keynote address by Bishop Donald J. Hying, National Episcopal Advisor of the United States Society of St. Vincent de Paul. For many who attended the National Assembly meeting in San Diego in September, Bishop’s address was one of the highlights of the 4-day session and we are blessed to have him here in person speaking to our Vincentian community. A wonderful spiritual treat.

In this session you will hear about basic strategies and practical action steps for building trust, improving communications, and improving outcomes for those we help who are living in poverty.

Change – It’s natural, but not always easy.!We all see opportunities to bring in new members, to respond to the changing face of the church, to collaborate with other agencies, to rethink the services we provide to better meet the needs of our community. Explore ways to look at these opportunities in a new light.
