From your Servant Leader: May 26, 2016 We continue our series of Servant Leader columns on the new Cultural Beliefs for our Society as part of our new Cultural Transformation to help Councils and Conferences achieve key results. TODAY'S SOCIETY: I strengthen the Society by embracing new and diverse ideas and people. We all know someone who lives in the past. They don't own, and refuse to own, a computer. They rely on rabbit-ear TV antennas. They don't fly, not because of health reasons but because they don't trust heavier-than-air flight. I bet they still have a rotary phone and still wear that disco-era suit to church. David W. Barringer, CEO Most of us, however, try at least to keep up. It can be different when technology changes constantly to learn new each new "app" and software. I admit to waiting sometimes until something new proves itself before I buy it. After all, I already own the same Beatles music on a vinyl record, an 8-track tape, cassette tape and CD, and now I stream it! I really don't want to keep this going to whatever is next. Sorry Paul and Ringo. Organizations change, or should change, just as much as communications and technology. Some change is derived from the environment, such as the demographics of the community or the laws pertaining to inclusiveness. How many all-white, males-only clubs still exist? Others change because a need they were trying to solve no longer exists, or because volunteerism itself has changed due to available time, family structures and other priorities. Read more Yours in Christ, Dave To Top Q: Some of our Conferences have pantries where people come in and pick up food on a regular basis. Other Conferences take food to the homes during a home visit. Other Conferences deliver food as needed and not as part of a true home visit. In the past, our reporting of these activities on the "Special Works" form has been somewhat inconsistent. We'd like to correct that. We'd appreciate any clarification. A: Anytime a Vincentian takes food to a family it is not a "Special Work," it's part of what we do with home visits; we take food with us or deliver groceries on home visits. However, if there is a pantry operation or on-site food distribution center where food is picked up, then it is a Special Work. These are two different services we provide. Therefore, there is no conflict. Q: How do we report the number of people helped with cash, i.e. rent, electric, etc. There are sections on the annual report form for in-kind activity, but not for cash. A: There is no separate count for the number of people assisted financially. We only track the number of people assisted by type of service: home visit, other person visit, etc. Expenses included under the treasurer's report reflects all funds used for goods and services provided to those we served, including cash, checks, certificates, bus tickets and gift cards. The main method for assistance with cash payments is checks paid directly to the provider of those goods or services. This also includes the cost of food purchased to stock food pantry items. For those Conferences that operate stores and other Special Works, this includes dollars spent for direct aid to those in need.

The special campaign was launched to help the Society's international efforts. CIAD disburses funds to help national SVdP Councils across the globe respond to earthquakes, floods and other major disasters. CIAD also provides funds for developmental projects operated by Vincentian Councils in developing countries, such as education and establishing community wells and healthcare facilities. There are not currently any active CIAD emergencies that require our assistance. However, the Society should always be prepared to help when called upon. Many countries with smaller economies and fewer Vincentians are in the "poor helping the poor" situation and need our help now more than ever. This past year, through your generous donations to the CIAD fund, SVdP has helped the Mexico National Council re-establish its offices, helped the Central American National Councils hold an organizing meeting in Guatemala, helped fund a Vincentian Pan-African meeting, helped poorer countries send their leaders to Rome to help in the election of the next SVdP international president, assisted in rebuilding homes in Nepal after the earthquakes last year and so much more. Support is organized through the U.S. National Council. International disaster dollars are sent from the U.S. Council either through the international office in Paris or directly to SSVP National Councils in countries in need. We see to it that every dollar is put to good use to help those who most need it! You can make cause-specific donations. However, undesignated CIAD donations from your Council, Conference and individuals are preferred as they will be able to be utilized more efficiently where the need is most urgent. We thank you in advance for your support of the CIAD campaign! You can mail your donations for the CIAD campaign to the National Council Office at the address below: National Council of the United States Society of St. Vincent de Paul 58 Progress Parkway Maryland Heights, MO 63043 Or you can donate online by clicking on the link below: https://interland3.donorperfect.net/weblink/weblink.aspx?name=E135450&id=2 Go to the "Donation Programs" line and select "International Disasters" from the drop-down menu. To Top To Top Vincentian Formation The Jubilee Year of Mercy A Vincentian Question: How is the "Year of Mercy" transforming me? Pope Francis tells us: "There is a great need to be transformed by God's mercy, because something is not right in us and in society. Just look around: how many wounds are inflicted upon humanity by evil! Wars, violence, economic conflicts that hit the weakest, greed for money, love for power, corruption, divisions, and crimes against human life and against creation. Lent reminds us that it is possible to create something new within ourselves and around us." Our Rule guides us to this transformation of God's mercy: "Where injustice, inequality, poverty or exclusion are due to unjust economic, political or social structures or to inadequate or unjust legislation, the Society should speak out clearly against the situation, always with charity, with the aim of contributing to and demanding improvements." (Part 1:7.6) _______________________________________________________________________________ During this Jubilee of Mercy, all Conferences are invited to pray and reflect together on: Serving in Hope-Module IV: Our Vincentian Mission.

A PowerPoint presentation describing the Culture Transformation initiative can be found on the National SVdP website, www.svdpusa.org/members/documents/spiritual-formation. The Society of St. Vincent de Paul is challenged to respond to the cries of the poor that are multiplying every day, by increasing the number of Conferences and members. According to the Rule 1.6, "Faithful to the spirit of its founders, the Society constantly strives for renewal, adapting to changing world conditions. It seeks to be ever aware to the changes that occur in human society and the new types of poverty that may be identified or anticipated. It gives priority to the poorest of the poor and to those who are most rejected by society." "The Church must step outside herself to go to the outskirts of existence, whatever they may be, but she must step out," said Pope Francis. "In this 'stepping out' it is important to be ready for an encounter with others, because faith is an encounter with Jesus." Together, we walk the journey of "Transforming our Culture... Living our Rule." *Look for more information about Culture Transformation in upcoming issues of the E-Gazette.

The best collection of these letters in English is found in "A Life in Letters" edited by Fr. Joseph Dirvan which was commissioned and published by the National Council of the United States in 1986. This is a scholarly translation with annotations from the French of the most significant of his available letters written from 1821 to 1844. Now out of print and increasingly difficult to obtain, we are pleased to announce that DePaul University agreed to digitize "A Life in Letters" and make it available online. It is now downloadable without cost as a pdf at this site: http://via.library.depaul.edu/ozanam_law/1/. You may want to download the individual chapters to keep the file size manageable.

Getting Ahead in a Just Gettin' By World attacks poverty holistically, in order to empower individuals to build their own personal plans for economic security and create Systemic Change. It is currently being used by Conferences and Councils of all sizes, across the country. Is your Conference or Council ready to implement Systemic Change in your community? Join Jeanne Harper, a member of the national board of directors and vice president of the North Central Region, for our next Getting Ahead Facilitator Training Webinar: Part I: Monday, June 6 Part II: Monday, June 13 11:00 a.m.-2:00 p.m. Central 11:00 a.m.-2:30 p.m. Central **Please note these are the CORRECTED dates.

The webinar was recorded and is archived on the Systemic Change website (http://www.svdpusa.org/systemicchange/Materials/Online-Meetingsand-Training). Thanks, Jack Murphy Society of St. Vincent de Paul National Board of Directors Diversity, Systemic Change, Advocacy Goal Leader __________________________________________________________________________ SVdP Communities of Practice Stories of Systemic Change Systemic Change has taken firm root within our Vincentian Culture! This is the twentieth of many Systemic Change stories (big and small) from our membership across the country. _________________________________________________________________ Santa Fe, N.M. The following information came from Linda Strasburg, SVdP vice president for the South Central Region. Linda was also a member of the Systemic Change Task Force that worked on the Hope in Action workshops and webinars. The Archdiocese of Santa Fe conducted a three-day training with 21 people. From this group they were able to build a systemic change steering committee. Three training sessions have been conducted with 45 people in attendance. They now have six trained facilitators and 20 trained mentors. The team developed their own four-hour mentor training program. Three Getting Ahead programs were conducted in 2015 and two are planned for 2016. Local Conferences were asked to provide meals and childcare for the Getting Ahead Program. This group used a National Systemic Change Grant to create a tuition assistance program for children if the parents would agree to attend a Getting Ahead class. This idea really caught on and the team received an additional grant to continue the program. Linda will be going to a training class on Bridges Out of Poverty's "Getting Ahead While Getting Out," a program for returning citizens. We are looking forward to her review of this program. _____________________________________________________________________________ If you would like to correspond with Vincentians on tips/tricks/traps on running Bridges Out of Poverty based institute, Donna Beegle's "Communications across Barriers," Circles, Micro-Loans or any other Systemic Change programs, join us at svdpspecialworks.net and start talking.

The COP is a coalition composed of more than 65 heads of denominations, relief and development agencies, and other Christian organizations. The letter requested that candidates produce a three minute video describing what they would do as president to "offer help and opportunity to the hungry and those in need in the U.S. and around the world."
