It is about doing good works in the community, but it is also about young people meeting to talk, to share ideas and concerns, to have fun and to support each other. The SSVP model of faith in action is a great way to get young people thing and talking about their spirituality - connecting their beliefs and values with service activities and issues in their community can help to make their faith real, meaningful and relevant.

The SSVP was started by young people way back in 1833, that's why we thing it's so important to have young people involved. Mini Vinnies are SSVP groups based in primary schools and at Stephen's it is made up of Primary 5-7 pupils, with an adult or adults supporting them.

What Mini Vinnies do:

Education and awareness. Becoming aware of some of the community's social ills and knowing that although the world is beautiful, there are always ways to make it a bit better.

THINK

Formation. This is a chance for Mini Vinnies to participate in spiritual activities, personal development and discussions, and to develop a real understanding of the world.

Community service and fundraising. 'Doing' means supporting the SSVP in its good works, and for the children to do something about the issues that they have seen, thought about or discussed.
