Today for our home learning, we have been learning about St Vincent De Paul. What we have to do is watch a videos, read and write an interesting fact. This is my work at the bottom.
Interesting fact:
After his eventual escape from africa, Vincent served a church in rural France. The poverty he found there shocked him-it was not uncommon for people who were unable to find work in his poor community to die from starvation. He began to take stock of his resources, and his former connections with the wealthy and influential led him to seek their finacial assistance. He met with affluent friends and inspired them to organize into groups going from house to house requesting furniture, food and clothing. They were extremely successful in their efforts, and other parishes began to seek him out to learn how they could organize in the same way. Soon, churches all over france were using the same techniques Vincent had created to help their neighbors in need.
