During a special time at the Cathedral of the Holy Spirit midday Mass on Friday 3 May, Kevin Frost was installed as the new Conference President for Palmerston North, taking over from Rose Semmens. Two new members, Rick Field and James Kissell, were also commissioned.
At the end of Mass, Kevin took the opportunity to thank Rose for her ‘ever-positive leadership and unstinting example of helping people over the three years of her presidency’. He also thanked parishioners for their food and monetary contributions that enable SVdP to continue its service to those in need.
The Palmerston North Conference is experiencing a significant increase in the number of requests for food and other help. In the month of May, 108 food parcels (normally some 70 parcels) were delivered, which fed around 400 adults and children.
