Moving Out of Our Comfort Zones
Am I capable of being a case worker, spiritual advisor, or conference president? Can I spontaneously pray for our neighbors
when I meet with them? Can I organize and facilitate a Vincentian retreat for my conference? Will I know what to do?
Being a member of the St. Vincent de Paul Society means change for us is on the horizon. Changes of all kinds, rather than
remaining comfortable where we are. Maybe we are the best at what we do, but what else could we learn? What else does
God want us to experience? We might be afraid to try something new. Normally, most of us are.
God provides what we need when we say “yes,” as Our Blessed Mother
Mary did when the Angel Gabriel told her she would have a son.
For example, let’s focus on something very important; that is, learning to
pray for others spontaneously, in the moment. This requires us to be
humble, as we then find a fulfilling presence of the Holy Spirit, causing our
words to pour forth from Him. The more we pray for others in their
presence and in the moment, the more present the Holy Spirit is within us,
because we are serving “the suffering Christ.”
It is during these special moments that Vincentians grow in Vincentian
spirituality. The following scripture verses provide more insight.
“For I am certain that God, who began the good work within you, will continue his work until it is finally finished on the day
that Christ Jesus returns.”1 Our hearts are marked for serving those who are the least of our brothers and sisters, the
marginalized. If God called us to do this good work, he will help us by giving us all the blessings, gifts, and graces we need to
follow through with His Will for us. And we must trust that he will do this in his Divine Providence for us.
“Jesus looked at them intently and said, ‘Humanly speaking it is impossible. But with God all things are possible.’”2 On my
spiritual journey many things have happened that without God, would not have been possible. He causes me to step out of my
comfort zone, as I trust Him.
“If any of you lacks wisdom, you should ask God, who gives generously to all without finding fault, and it will be given to
you.”3 We turn to Him asking for His help as we go through life’s challenges. When we first begin the journey, we may not have
the wisdom we need, but along the way, as we trust Him, he gives us the wisdom we need to gain confidence to do whatever
he asks of us.
Give it a try! Especially, pray with someone in need, who may not have ever had anyone pray for them, in their presence, or
over the phone, or through a video call. Notice how it affects them. There is a calming presence of God that you will notice, a
stillness. “Be still and know that I am God.”4
Enjoy the journey!

National President Election Update
Dear Vincentians,
The process for the Election of the President of the National Council of St. Vincent de Paul began at the National Meeting held
in Baltimore on September 3, 2022. At that time, National Committee members voted for the top 2 of 4 potential candidates.
The final selection for president is one in which every active Vincentian has a vote.
Sometime before the November 14th deadline, a vote will be held by secret ballot in your local conference. The results of that
majority vote will determine the 1 vote cast by your conference. SVdP Georgia will then cast a single vote in the national
election that reflects the majority vote of each of our conferences.
The “paper process” for conducting this election is prescribed by the National Elections Committee, and I thank you for your
cooperation and compliance with it. The two candidates are: John Berry and Brian Burgess.
The winner of the National Election will be announced in
January and the National President will serve for a term of six
years. To help in your decision making, please click on the
“platform statements” from each of the two candidates as well
as this link to a video of their live speeches before the National
Committee in September.
May the Peace of the Lord and the spirits of St. Vincent de Paul
and Blessed Frederic Ozanam be with all of you.

SVdP Georgia Selects Mike Mies for CEO Position
St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s Board of Directors overwhelmingly approved a resolution to hire
Mike Mies as CEO/Executive Director to replace Pat McNulty, who will retire at the end of the
year. Mike brings 20+ years of successful leadership and service at all levels of St. Vincent de
Paul Georgia including Conference Caseworker, Conference Spiritual Advisor, Conference
President, District President, Council Vice President, Council President, and National
Committee Member, and will assume the new role in 2023.
Mike will replace St. Vincent de Paul Georgia’s CEO, Pat McNulty, who recently announced his
2023 retirement. “Having worked closely with Mike for the last few years, I have seen firsthand
his visionary leadership, passion and his genuine dedication to our Mission and Values for the
people of Georgia,” said McNulty. “He will help guide our organization to new heights, as we
continue to strengthen our capabilities in the areas of Hunger, Housing and Health.”
Strong financial and management skills, as evidenced by Mike’s experience as CEO and Director of Finance of several public
and private companies, afford St. Vincent de Paul Georgia continuity of service delivery, fundraising, and
continued forward momentum in executing the Strategic Plan.
Mike will work alongside Pat for the next few months to ensure a seamless transition into this role with careful attention to
maintaining existing relationships with key donors and constituents.

Twinning Spotlight in District 3: Gwinnett
Earlier this year, Family Promise reached out to the St. Lawrence Conference in Lawrenceville, Georgia to help the Hockers - a
family of six at the time - with hotel payments until their Section 8 house became available. Unfortunately, the Hockers did not
meet the qualifications of Family Promise, which require both husband and wife to be employed. With four children at home
and a lack of childcare options, Mrs. Hocker, who was pregnant with her fifth child, was unable to work. Although her
husband and oldest daughter were able to find employment, their wages could not cover the cost of housing on top of two car
payments, gas, and insurance, so the Hockers decided to live in a tent at a park, and when the temperature got too hot, they
switched to living in their cars.
TWINNING TO HELP A FAMILY IN NEED
Upon receiving the referral, Pam Kramer, Conference President at
St. Lawrence, emailed several other Conference Leaders in District 3
asking for help and received “Twinning” funding from FIVE
Conferences - St. John Neumann, St. Oliver Plunket, St. Stephen’s,
Prince of Peace, and Mary Our Queen.
The funds collected helped the Hocker family pay for four weeks at a
motel as well as a down payment for their Section 8 house. With
twinning money left over, and with donations from parishioners, the
St. Lawrence Conference helped purchase four complete bed sets
and furnish their 5-bedroom house.
“Our community gathered together to help this family live safely ,
thrive, and get in permanent housing. It took all these parishes
and agencies and good parishioners from St. Lawrence to make
this happen!”
- Pam Kramer
The Hockers were able to move into their new house on July 29th
and welcomed their new baby girl a few weeks later.
PARTNERING WITH OTHER MINISTRIES
In addition to helping with housing, the Hockers were referred to various St. Lawrence
ministries, including:
• Helping Mamas, a non-profit organization in Norcross, GA that provides essential baby
supplies to families in need. Helping Mamas was able to provide the Hocker family
with diapers, wipes, and a new pack-n-play.
“SVdP has been a huge

ST. MARY MOTHER OF GOD ASSEMBLES CURBSIDE COMFORT KITS
Members from the SVdP conference at St. Mary Mother of God in Jackson, Georgia recently put together 100 Curbside
Comfort Kits to hand out to the homeless and needy that they encounter day-to-day. The kits were shared with the
parishioners to extend their ministry to all that were interested in participating. The kits included hygiene items, various
healthy snacks as well as a prayer card and a copy of our church bulletin.
"People's eyes light up when you give them one of these bags. They just
don't expect for someone to hand them a bag full of things that they
need but didn't expect from a driver who was just passing by."

September 2010 The
the Society Page Page 10Welcome to the SVdP GA Team!
Ann Frazer joins us as the new Corporate Giving Manager on the Development Team.
Ann will be responsible for managing and growing our portfolio of corporate donors and
supporters. Prior to joining SVdP Georgia, Ann spent seven years at St. Joseph Catholic
School, where she held a variety of roles, including the Director of Enrollment and
Communications. In that role, she was responsible for developing and implementing a
marketing, sales and communications plan aimed at increasing enrollment at the
school. Before moving to the not-for-profit world, Ann honed her skills in the corporate
world, holding a variety of sales, marketing and management positions at The Kellogg
Company and Parisian.
A native of Illinois, Ann has lived in Georgia for over 20 years and is a proud graduate of
the University of Georgia (Go Dawgs!). She currently lives in Woodstock with her husband
of 28 years. They are the proud parents of three children: one daughter who is on her
own and off the payroll, a daughter that is a junior at UGA and a son that is a senior in
high school. She also has one cat and one very spoiled dog.
When not fighting the 285 traffic, Ann enjoys hiking, painting, photography, reading, gardening (though most of it dies) and
her family, of course. She is especially looking forward to impacting our very important mission.
Mariel Risner Sivley joins the Society of St. Vincent de Paul Georgia in the newly
created position of Housing Director. In this role, Mariel will be responsible for
overseeing our strategic and tactical housing related initiatives, including the Motel to
Home program.
Most recently Mariel was the Executive Director of the Georgia Supportive Housing
Association (GSHA), a nonprofit organization that seeks to advance the creation and
preservation of quality supportive housing in Georgia and ensure sufficient resources for
this effort through education and advocacy. Mariel started her career as an attorney with
the Georgia Law Center for the Homeless and was the co-recipient of a Distinguished
Service Award from the Atlanta Bar Association in 2012. She served as the volunteer
coordinator for the Atlanta Long Term Care Ombudsman Program and as an Adjunct
Professor for the Externship Program in the area of Public Interest Law at Emory University School of Law. She is a graduate
of Emory University and the Georgia State University College of Law. Mariel has presented on homelessness and housing
topics at several events, including those hosted by Georgians for a Healthy Future, National Association of Women Judges,
and NAMI Georgia. She helped develop a supportive housing development guidebook and training for GSHA. Her work
with GSHA was awarded the Freedom Righter Award from Metro Fair Housing in 2021.
Mariel grew up in Sandy Springs and lives in Roswell. She loves to read, indulge in creative writing, take her dog for long
hikes, go camping, and travel any place she can get to. Her next highly anticipated international trip is to Israel, but before
that trip, she is looking forward to spending time with family this winter in Idaho, where she will attempt to learn how to
ski.
