Gather the SVP family

Inspired by the lives of St Vincent de Paul (born 24 April 1581) and Blessed Frédéric Ozanam (born 23 April 1813), Gather the Family is a time to bring together the SVP family - to celebrate our shared mission, honour their legacy, and look to the future with hope.

Although it began as a way to mark their birthdays, Gather the Family can be held at any time of the year. You might choose to celebrate around the feast days of Blessed Frédéric Ozanam (9 September) and St Vincent de Paul (27 September), or simply gather your SVP family for a time of community, reflection, and joy whenever it suits your group best.

Below you’ll find everything you need to plan a successful event. Don’t forget to share your photos afterwards! Send them to [email protected] along with signed photo consent forms.

If you’d like to include fundraising as part of your event, donations to the SVP can be made here.
