International Twinning in the Spirit of Advent

By Michael J. Nizankiewicz, Chair, U.S. Twinning Commission

Let me begin by wishing you a blessed Advent season and welcoming you to this second edition of the Twinning Newsletter. Advent is not only a time of anticipation as we prepare for the birth of our Lord, but also a season of caring and giving.

There are more than 155 National Councils within the Society of St. Vincent de Paul worldwide, and the vast majority do not have the resources necessary to adequately serve those in need in their respective countries. This reality calls us to reflect on how we are able to support our fellow Vincentians beyond our local communities.
