Catholics solidarity committee reviews activities
The Committee for Solidarity of Vietnamese Catholics (CSVC) held a meeting in the Mekong Delta city of Can Tho on November 14 to review the operation of its chapters in the south western cities and provinces over the past year.
Phan Dinh Son, CSVC Deputy Chairman, said catholic organisations and religious dignitaries in the region implemented practical measures to promote economic development, reduce poverty, and ensure social order and safety in residential areas.
Representatives from the chapters reported on their achievements so far and shared their experiences in implementing a number of campaigns and programmes over the course of 2014.
Accordingly, the chapters encouraged Catholics to participate in social programmes such as the “Building a cultural lifestyle in residential areas” campaign or adopt new farming models, contributing to the improvement of living standards and boosting community coherence.
During the meeting, participants also pointed out a number of difficulties in implementing campaigns and put forward points of action for the future.
