St. Vincent de Paul New Orleans

**Vincentian Spotlight** This week, we’re shining a light on Bernia Jean Rhodes from the Visitation of Our Lady Conference in the Westbank District! With over 30 years of dedication as a Vincentian, Bernia has made a profound impact in our community. Currently serving as the President of VOL, she has previously held the role of Treasurer for the Westbank District, showcasing her unwavering commitment and leadership. Thank you, Bernia, for your incredible service and inspiring us all!    #VincentianSpotlight #CommunityHero #ServiceAboveSelf

On October 12th, the Christ the King conference participated in the 50th Anniversary of the Terrytown Library celebration, highlighting community service. The conference used the opportunity to not only share how the conference serves the Terrytown area, but also collected non-perishables for their food pantry. "Our (CTK) Vincentians were happy to celebrate an important community resource like our library, while letting people know about our resources and how we help those in need." says conference president Richard Carbo. The conference has represented the Society and served the Terrytown area since 1980.

💫 Meet Vickie Kennedy, one of our amazing Vincentian teaching volunteers! For a year and a half, Vickie has dedicated her time to our adult learning center, bringing her wealth of experience as a retired teacher from Jefferson Parish Public Schools.✨ Vickie says, “I had other volunteer opportunities, but I enjoy the one-on-one aspect of tutoring. It lifts my spirits to do something concrete.” Thank you, Vickie, for making a difference in our community! 💙 #VolunteerSpotlight #EducationMatters #ThankYouVickie
