Secours Catholique holds volunteer return day

Secours Catholique volunteers from the Pyrénées Gascogne delegation met on October 1, 2026, in Berdoues to begin their new service year. The gathering brought together 260 volunteers from the Hautes Pyrénées and Gers departments for a day of information and social exchange.

During the event, Vice President Eric Sangoi spoke about the role of volunteers in creating a more just society. An activity report covered local and national updates, including a national campaign for volunteers and employees to approve new statutes and internal regulations.

The afternoon included a forum where volunteers discussed topics such as health, mobility, and partnerships. The delegation's chaplain concluded the day by discussing the organization's values, its connection to Catholic social teaching, and the need to support volunteer well-being to ensure they can provide unconditional welcome to all people.
