The Society of Saint Vincent De Paul Saint Mary Magdalene Conference, working in the Diocese of Salt Lake City through the Cathedral of the Madeleine’s Good Samaritan Program, held its first Friends of the Poor 5K Walk/Run at Sugar House Park Oct. 3 in conjunction with the national St. Vincent De Paul FOP walk/run. The proceeds will be used to assist local people living in poverty. The winners of the 5K were Angello Gazani, first place; Rene Valerio, second place; and Lola Hunter, 6, third place, with her father in fourth running behind her to ensure her safety. The Utah conference, which has 30 members, is bilingual and open to all people regardless of religious affiliation. Donations can be made online until Oct. 30 at www.svdpusa.net/walk/1420.
