Billy Collier and Mary-Anne Fogarty, both retired members of the Society, were welcomed recently by the conference and presented with certificates to recognise their generous commitment and long-standing service to the community through their volunteer work with Vincent de Paul.

Over many years, they dealt with people enduring a difficult time with compassion and kindness, and solved many problems, bringing relief and comfort to families and individuals.
