The St. Vincent de Paul Society is hoping to establish an overnight shelter for the homeless in their building on Waterloo Street. They have the space available to accommodate 6 people each night and would like to begin operating as soon as early February. However, for this to become a reality, they need volunteers. They need help registering clients as they arrive, and they would require other volunteers to stay overnight with a security guard to ensure all clients are following the rules. If you would consider being part of this important outreach ministry, please contact the Cathedral by email (cic@nb.aibn.com), and they will pass your name along to the project coordinator.
