Mini-Vinnies
St Mary’s ‘Mini-Vinnies’
‘Mini-Vinnies’ is based on:
The Society of St Vincent de Paul (SVP)
‘Mini Vinnies’ are children aged between 7 to 11 (or younger) who, with the permission of their parents and the support of their schools, are encouraged to embark on their first steps as possible ‘Vincentians for life’.
As ‘Mini Vinnies’, the children have their own ‘treasured’ Prayer, Pledge and Badge, a dedicated website and a range of bright and colourful documents which guide them in their formative steps – helping and enabling them to become in every sense, young Vincentians – or ‘Mini Vinnies’.
The Mini Vinnies meet Mrs Lapthorn every Friday at lunch time to read and share the following Sundays Gospel. They discuss how to live their lives spreading Christ's word in all their actions. Look out for our Mini Vinnies especially during Christmas and Easter when they lead lots of fund raising for charities.
