SVDP Training-Quick Review of the Basics

Below, in WORD, are a review of the basics in the SVDP. These were originally written by Larry Lauter in 2001-2002 and are still a good review of the SVDP basics for each member.

One-Why We Do What We Do? Two-Why We Do It As "Vincentians?"
Three-Sharing the Treasure We Have Four-Up Close & Personal Like Frederic!
Five-The Rule--Keeping Us Faithful to Frederic's Vision Six-The SVDP Spiritual Dimension-A Work in Progress
Seven-No Work of Charity is Foreign to the Society Eight-7 Key Themes of Catholic. Social Teaching
Nine-final: Re-Commitment Ceremony  

The National SVDP has many new training modules that will be made available to Vincentians in the Diocese of Cleveland.

The SVDP Rule is something that every Vincentian should re-read each year. The International SVDP Rule was revised in 1973 and again in 2003 to bring it up to date with today's world; the basic requirements remained the same. Part I talks about the basic values of the SVDP; Part II, the statutes of the International Confederation of the SVDP; Part III, the statutes of  the National Council of the United States.
