A few years ago, before I joined the SSVP a Young Vinnies (YV) group was established at Takuilau College at Lapaha. This was started by the late Polikalepo Kefu from Lapaha and our first National Youth Coordinator. Today this YV group is being established in the Parish of St Michael the Archangel where Takuilau College is situated. A couple of years ago under the request of the President to the Principal of Apifoou College a new YV group was established at the College. This year a new YV group has been established at the Hihifo Parish (West of Tongatapu) and in December 2023 the latest group is being established at the Maufanga Parish of the Immaculate Conception of Mary. This development coincides with the 50th Anniversary of the SSVP in Tonga.
A National Committee has been set up to oversee the development of the YV. The Maufanga Parish Young Vincentians will elect it’s new office bearers on Friday 15 December.
