Communicants
Association
In her concern for the hungry and the poor, the “Communicant’s
Association” was founded on the 29th October 1856.
This Association, besides “exciting one another
to the duties of religion”, runs what is commonly
called the “soup kitchen,” giving to at least
25 poor persons, irrespective of religion, a dish of hot
food everyday. The “soup kitchen”, which is
now run from the Church of the Ascension at Sion Hill,
is one of the oldest social outreach programmes in St.
Vincent and the Grenadines, if not the oldest. The
Communicants Association holds meetings on the first Monday

If the first Monday is a holiday, the meeting is held
on the second Monday of the month.
Mothers’
Union
The Mothers’ Union is an international charity of

its members are not all mothers or even all women, as
there are many parents, men, widows, singles and grandparents
involved in its work. However, in the Diocese of the Windward
Islands, all the members of the Mothers’ Union are
women. Its main aim is to support marriage and family
life, especially through times of adversity.
The vision of the Mothers Union is of a world where God's
love is shown through loving, respectful, and flourishing
relationships. The organization has as its aim and purpose
to demonstrate the Christian faith in action by the transformation
of communities worldwide through the nurture of the family
in its many forms.
