Saint Vincent and the Grenadines Volunteer Dinner
On Sunday night, February 8, I hosted a reunion of the volunteers who went down to the SVG Missions last summer.
I gave them a report on the health status of fellow volunteer, Fergal Redmond (who is back in Ireland recuperating), as well as on the progress of various ministry projects in the islands. I reported on the 16 boxes of supplies shipped just recently.
I will be going down myself for the 13th time in mid March to lead a diocesan-wide workshop on "revitalization." When I get back, hopefully we can complete plans for their return mission trip this coming summer.
One of the major developments, and one that could pave the way for more volunteers going down, is the hiring of a Coordinator of Local and International Volunteers. This person would be my local contact person down there who could assist in the recruitment and care of local and international volunteers, as well as the planning of the projects in which they will be involved. I have someone down there looking for suitable candidates for this job so that I can interview them while I am down there in March. This coordinator could definitely help propel the Catholic Second Wind Guild into its next growth phase.
