Transcript of Celebrating the 400th Anniversary of the AIC
400th Anniversary
IT ALL BEGANin Châtillon
400 YEARS AGO…
SVP realised three very important things:
• Lots of people living in poverty required urgent help
• There were lots of people who were ready to help
• It was necessary to organise the help
Saying yes to the call of Christ on this path...He changed his life
and the lives of many other people.
SVP became in this way a coordinator of lay people in the service of the most
vulnerable.He gave us an excellent example and we
try to follow him.
How are we going to celebrate these 400 years of charitable action?
We suggest…
By being close to people to discover their strengths with them

BEING OPEN and SHARING
As AIC volunteers we should all be conscious of the fact that our
Association has been, since 1617, an antidote to poverty; the celebration of our 400th Anniversary is therefore a cause for great joy. So let’s not forget to open up the doors of our hearts to
share with those who would like to join this wonderful work.
Let’s invite lots of other people...
To build a more charitable, more fraternal and fairer world…
The more of us there are, the more people living in poverty we will be able
to help!
