Prime MInister reminds nationals in the Diaspora that building the country ‘belongs to all’

“Our responsibility is to continue building a St. Vincent and the Grenadines in which our children can see possibility, our elderly can live with dignity, our people can pursue opportunity, and every Vincentian can feel that there is a place for them in the future of this country. “To our Vincentian communities across the Diaspora, thank you for continuing to keep St.

Vincent and the Grenadines close to your hearts. May you celebrate proudly, surrounded by family, friends and the traditions that remind you of home,” he said. Meanwhile, St.

Vincent and the Grenadines Ambassador to the United Nations, Vynnette Fredericks, told nationals that they have “a responsibility to build St. Vincent and the Grenadines. “Choosing to heal starts right here in the church, in our homes, in every village in St.

Vincent and the Grenadines. We pray for those to govern with justice and humility. My message is to speak with your neighbors with grace.

Let us speak with grace. May God heal our divisions, and let us be one united people.” Several members of the Vincentian clergy in the New York Metropolitan Area participated in the two and a half hour Church service organized by the umbrella Vincentian group in the United States, Council of St. Vincent and the Grenadines Organizations, USA Inc.

(COSAGO), in conjunction with the New York-based St. Vincent and the Grenadines Consulate General to the United States. Speaking on the opic, “St.

Vincent and the Grenadines Supernatural Support System”, the Rev. Derwin Grant, pastor of Trinity Methodist Church in Brooklyn, said that “the everlasting arms are a support for everything. “Whatever it is, it is in the hands of the everlasting God.

You can learn humility from Him. I’m saying to our people, if you listen to what is happening in the US, we need to lean on the everlasting arms.” The Rev. Louis Straker, Jr., son of former St.

Vincent and the Grenadines deputy prime minister Sir Louis Straker, Sr., and pastor of The Reflections Church on Utica Avenue in Brooklyn, served as liturgist throughout the service. CMC/nk/ir/2026
