CVV: Denvers' jewell

What a terrific front-page story about Denver’s jewel, the Colorado Vincentian Volunteers (“Living the Spirit of St. Vincent de Paul,” Sept. 16 Denver Catholic Register).  Of all their charisms, Mary Frances and Bill Jaster and the CVV Companions have offered our city the greatest gift of all—real community in Christ—through their brilliant organization and its endless branches of service.  If you haven’t had a chance to experience the fruit of 166 generous and prayerful young people serving over 50 organizations in our city for more than 15 years, check out their beautiful five-minute video on www.covivo.org , or get to their annual summer talent show.  There you’ll see the ever-growing numbers of companions on the journey—hundreds of people who have been drawn into their warm circle of love—enjoying the best musical talent in our town for the price of admission.  Yes, they’ll ask for your heart and soul, but by the end of the night you’ll be so happy to give it.
