Q: Can we vote to use our secret collection funds to buy gift cards for the children of our needy neighbors who called in asking to be put on our parish giving tree?

A: Conference Members may vote to use their secret collection for purposes other than contributing to the Conference funds. When contributing to another organization, including the local Parish, the contribution must not be identified as coming from SVdP, since they are not giving to the families or children directly through an in-person or Home Visit.

Q: Concerning the Commissioning ceremony, is there a certificate or some form of formal recognition that is part of this ceremony?

A: Many Conferences present pins to Presidents and past Presidents as part of the Commissioning Ceremony. There are also pins for Members. There are no certificates available; however, you may create your own.

P: ¿Podemos votar para usar nuestros fondos de la colecta secreta para comprar tarjetas de regalo para los hijos de nuestros prójimos en necesidad, que llamaron pidiéndolas para que los pusieran en nuestro árbol de donaciones parroquiales?

R: Los miembros de la Conferencia pueden votar para usar su colecta secreta para fines distintos de contribuir a los fondos de la Conferencia.  Pero al contribuir a otra organización no Vicentina, incluida la parroquia local, la contribución no debe identificarse como proveniente de SVdP, ya que no se están dando a las familias o niños directamente a través de una visita en persona o en una Visita Domiciliaria.

P: Con respecto a la ceremonia de Instalación o Comisión, ¿hay un certificado o alguna forma de reconocimiento formal que forme parte de esta ceremonia?
