Our Mission
As a member of Mini Vinnies, I promise to make a difference in my world by:
- Caring for, respecting and loving myself.
- Strengthening my friendship with Jesus by praying each day and talking to others about him.
- Caring for others in my school and social community by befriending those who are alone, needy or in trouble.
- Contributing to the happiness of my family by my willing help, respect, consideration, joy and kindness.
- Caring for, appreciating, enjoying and maturing God’s creation, the environment.
- Treating others the way I would like them to treat me.
Our Responsibilities
As Mini Vinnie's it is our role to lend a helping hand to those in need. Our goal is to help as many people in our local community as possible.
It is our responsibility to give alms by;
- Organizing and running of fundraising events,
- Working alongside the Prayer Leaders to help our community grow their faith by sharing our love of God,
- Donate our time to better our school areas such as litter picking outside the school gates,
- Working alongside the Eco-Warriors to keep our school as sustainable as possible, bettering children's understanding of how to keep our community safe and sustainable for all,
Mini Vinnie Prayers
Lord, thank you for our gifts and talents.

Lord, open our eyes that we may see the deepest needs of your people.
Move our hands that we may feed the hungry.
Touch our hearts that they may bring warmth to those who are sad.
Let us share our time and possessions with those in need.
Give us the care that strengthens the sick.
May we all be a source of support and encouragement for each other as we strive to build a more loving society.
Amen.
